Arizona Cards Fire Dennis Green

oops accidentally hit send reply.

I wanted to say:
Green went 6-10, 5-10, 5-10...had Gibbs done that, then yes, he would have been fired too.

How is it that we just somehow seem to know when certain coaches are hired in certain places, they're going to get fired?........"Shortly......

Well, 95% get fired, so it's not exactly a long shot there.
But knowing one will not succeed is not rocket science. Arizona has a losing mentality, probably always will. Green was not set up for success there.

I actually see a brighter future for the Cards. Leinart looks like he will become a decent QB, they have the best talent at WR, Edge has a couple more years, a brand new stadium, Soome of their defensive players look very sharp. They need an O-line coach, someone that can put together a solid group and get them all on the same page. Arizona with an o-line would be a dangerous opponent.

It's kind of like that Seinfeld where you know a restaurant is going to go out of business based on its location. "Very bad man!" Arizona and Detroit are kind of the NFL's equivalent of that.

Green was nothing to Arizona but someone that was supposed to bring glory to the team and that didn't happen.

ps- after this dismal performance, firing Gibbs has crossed my mind, but I want to give him 1 more year. His first year we expected a poor showing. Last year we overacheived, gotta give Gibbs credit. This year we underachieved, so he deserves 1 more year.

while green has struggled with the cards the last 3 years, his track record is not dismal. i think he should have been given, at least, one more year for the fact that his rookie qb now has a couple of games under his belt and his offense is pretty young at the skill positions. some better o-lineman is what they lack. i just think it's funny how some say it's a good fireing but say gibbs should not be fired because 15-20 years ago he won 3 superbowls.

don't get me wrong, i do not want or think gibbs should be fired. i just think green should be given a little more time.
