I was just about to post this :D

The National Football post has this one as well, according to ProFootballTalk.com

I'm just going to interject here a little and say that while I don't specifically agree with you in terms of how Moss did his job this year (we've been through it, in terms of my thinking it has more to do w/ the D line than you do, no big whoop), I do agree that promoting him isn't the right decision, given the circumstances. You have a team drop from 13-3 to 6-10 - for a LOT of reasons, to be clear - but one of the bigger reasons is the defense falling apart. You look to last year and it's not like it was a top defense then, either.

So if you're Thompson, I don't think you can simply promote from w/in - and that doesn't mean Moss can't get the job done, it just means that if only for PR reasons you really need to clean house and effect some big change on the defensive side of the ball.

I'll be interested to see how this all shakes out, for sure.

I'm no expert but I never understood,how you can be good in the beginning of a game,but at the end you give up a lot,that is what was so frustrating you need to be aggressive all game,you need the players to adjust with the coach and it seemed the coach could,t adjust to the opponents we need some one who stays aggressive and can adjust like steelers ravens .

'Gone, then, are defensive ends coach Carl Hairston, defensive tackles coach Robert Nunn, secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer, cornerbacks/nickel package coach Lionel Washington, and quality control assistant Joe Whitt, Jr.'

I'd like to see an explanation for those guys, if this article is true ofcourse.

So is there any word on McCarthy re-acting to this? I mean, he ought to have a press conference soon with all these rumours flying around.

I'll be right back guys. I need to go leave a boot up Florio's ass for bringing up the Favre issue AGAIN in a completely unrelated story. Damn Vikings fan... probably bitter about his team bending over in the first round at home, and needs to take it out on someone.

---

OR, does it mean they're fixing to hand the keys to Moss and let him fill out the rest of the staff?

Hopefully not, but I do wonder why they left him intact if they really did clean everyone else out (including Washington, which I don't agree with).

---

Ugh... does Moss even have the connections to round out an NFL quality defensive coaching staff?

---

It isn't Ted's call.. Mike McCarthy made the firing call and he will replace him with his pick, Ted might need to okay the choice.. but Mike McCarthy will have the keys IMO.
