I agree. But lots of coaches get let go by jackasses who don't have a clue.
Tom Landry finding out from TV Jones had replaced him was the most classless act I think I know of. The Raiders getting rid of Stabler comes second just because Art Shell wanted a Daryl Lamonica. Great. Lamonica could throw the ball 100 yards but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. And THAT is credit where it's due. I couldn't stand the Raiders in the 70s. Always screwing over the Steelers.
They should have to have a brain test to go along with the money in the NFL. Art Modell, Art Shell and Jerry Jones are the worst things to happen to the NFL. Always posturing about money and not playing the game.
