scskin Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Don't you get blasted by the media when you are a relatively new owner that fires his head coach with a few games left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031210/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_falcons_reeves_fired_12 When Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank delivered the grim news, Reeves reacted in typical fashion. Too proud to hang around as a lame duck, Reeves asked to be let go immediately. So, a remarkable 23-year run as an NFL head coach may have ended Wednesday with three games left in a disappointing season. "If the decision had already been made to release me, my feelings were that I would like it to be immediately," said Reeves, the sixth-winningest coach in NFL history. "It's like calling a player in and saying, 'I'm going to release you but I want you to play three more games until I find somebody to replace you.'"

Art Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Even more, Blank went behind the back of his coach before the year to try to get Mariucci. Seems awfully meddlesome to me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I am not the biggest fan of Mr. Snyder but it is funny if the sports writer liked him, he would be know as a great owner that just wants to win and is willing to bring in whoever it takes to do the job but instead he is a meddlesome owner that is trying to buy a Super Bowl.

NoCalMike Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 How about the double standard of RB-by-commitee? Somehow when the Skins did it early in the year, they were bashed and told by the media that it would never work and they need ONE SOLID BACK, yet with the Eagles it is just the greatest thing since sliced bread.
