If You Gotta Fire Me, At Least Have The Courtesy Not To Replace Me With Jim Haslett
Sure I’m a little miffed about the whole firing thing, even a little baffled. It’s not every team that can carry a lead over the Bills at halftime. Wait, the Raiders did it last week too? Well, I imploded more spectacularly than they did! And I didn’t even need a horrible imperious owner to do it.
Fine. Whatever. Let me go. I’ll catch on somewhere else. 10 gets you 20 the Lions will have a place for me in their new power structure next season. Count on it. Just tell me you didn’t…you did, didn’t you?
Haslett? You replaced me with Jim Pre-Cum-Suffused Haslett, that dithering, aquiline-nosed motherfucker? That’s like replacing a downed traffic light with a disco ball. A flat tire with a circus seal. A burned out light bulb with a burned out defensive coordinator. Tell me it’s cronyism.
I mean, in a way it’s kind of beautiful. Replacing me with the coordinator of the defense that’s allowed the most points in the league. That’s positively Linehanian. I guess my work here is done.

I wondered what happened to Danny Noonan. Maybe he can go back to caddying.

The world needs ditch-diggers too!

Perhaps Rob Ryan and Jim Haslett are blowing late leads on purpose to get their HCs fired and thus replace them…… I think i’m giving them too much credit…

But, see, Jim Haslett has experience coaching shitty teams.

Haslett took the Saints to the playoffs so he can’t be that bad right? RIGHT???
You Rams fans are in deep shit this season.

well, looks like I should take that circus seal out of my trunk… thanks for the tip Scotty!

Weren’t the Linehanians the little folks that screwed with Gulliver?

There’s something about Linehan’s pose in this image that is deeply disturbing…

So…now that Haslett’s in power…I suppose we’re only hours away from Aaron Brooks’ triumphant return to the league!

Clown deserved to get axed. Kiffin is getting a raw deal in Oakland though. Welp thats what happens when you work for a decrepit corpse animated by demonic magic

The world needs bah-tendahs!
Linehan needed to go. He really had no clue and the team was actually better before he got there, as hard as that is to believe.

yeah, tim lewis sucks.

I guess that it’s as good a time as any to tell you this now, Scott. You didn’t have anywhere near the rep required to be taken seriously as that much of an asshole, your players hated your fucking guts, and they absolutely quit on you in the 4th quarter yesterday when they realized that a win might save your job. That’s all I’ve got.

Poor, poor Rams fans.
/Saints fan who lived (barely) though the Haslett era

@Mike Lupica: you beat me to the Sport Goofy reference. Well played

Gahh ….being reminded of Haslett AND Tim Lewis at the same time — physically painfull, like a hard, dry turd that comes out way
to fast. If you thru a Kevin Gilbride in that sentence I would need kotex for the mudhole right now.
