Kulich understands it of course because, well, he’s actually been a part of a football team.

Haloman, because he’s blinded by bloodthirst and groupthink, does not.

Awful, awful decision by Goetz to do this in the middle of the season.

LOL. Drake is a fucking retard who fights MMA in middle school gyms and went broke playing poker. No wonder you identify with him. You’re the same.

The “Boo woman” reaction whether explicit like Fritter or thinly veiled like Drake just isn’t going to work given the fact that Brian again led the worst offense in the business. Comes across pretty pathetic. Gotta pick your spots better. Like Beth.

It’s not that I dislike women it’s that evolutionary pressures haven’t sculpted them for calculated decision-making.

But men are slowly becoming more like women and women more like men. It’s a glacial pace but it’s happening and it’s a net positive thing for our species.

This is quite the statement.

Preserved for posterity.

If we actually take this troll logic at face value, every team that’s ever let an OC/DC go mid season was wrong. Which is completely asinine and Iowa isn’t even going that far.

It's not like this was some power trip move from Beth. She basically waited until a perfect time to address this, when it became completely clear there was no other option.

She obviously had support on this from everyone in any sort of position of influence except maybe Kirk.

I have no doubt Brian loves the Hawks, but he can't look at this situation objectively to see that he's hurting everything associated with them having a decent offense going forward. It's a fucking weird situation too and has been for years now. I love Kirk, but seriously who gives a shit if he's upset about this?

Good leaders often must make necessary decisions that are inconvenient and unpopular with some of their team. Garta, Butthurt Kurt and Bridawg all failed to so. Beth didn’t, and it will be good for recruiting, player retention and the the program.

Still can't figure out how Fritz is trying to play this. What's the worst that could happen, our worst in D1 offense is going to suck more?

I guess I can understand it "hurting" the program if it causes Kirk to be a baby and retire in a huff. But if that were to actually happen, it means it would be the appropriate time for him to move on anyways.

that’s my question - in Brian’s own parlance, what’s the upside of waiting? Brian’s laughingstock struggle had to be at least as big of a distraction as his removal, and one that wasn’t going to diminish with time.

while the recruiting, retention and donor sentiment benefits are abundantly clear to all but the dumb or willfully blind

if you didn’t notice, not even I could find a contrarian angle to defend in this entire situation.

right - if the cost of Kirk’s retention is keeping his nepo failure or dragging out his removal well into January, then it’s not one worth paying

Perhaps Drake is (rightly) pointing out he should have been fired outright-and not given the rest of the season to continue sullying Kirk’s reputation. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt-Zaius has him on his deathbed.

I assume Brian finishing out the season is what Kirk wanted. He'd rather deal with a lame duck distraction than have to move his assistants around and spread them thin for the last 3rd of the season.

I couldn’t care less who the OC is because they’re going to run the plays KF wants them to run. Absent KF being done there’s no way around this. Maybe he should be done.

I do care about winning the rest of the games this season and don’t see how this move helps in that regard and would love to see a historical comparison suggesting otherwise.

The projection that the players and staff feel the same way as the fans on social media do is what most of these people are attracted to: fantasy.

Has Drake considered this issue could have been solved last year if Kurt had done what should have been done in the interest of success?
If this was done last year, Cade would have gotten hurt and we’d be stuck with Bacon and all the fucktards would be screaming SEE!!
