Wow, didn't think that would happen anymore.

Now the hunt for a new defensive cordinator... or Moss. I guess we'll hear more about it soon enough.

Wow......FINALLY!!!
I don't know how much of the D problems will be solved by that, but i don't think it will hurt.
I HOPE they get someone that can put some imagination into our D play.

I agree with this. I'm not opposed to the firing, because i think they can do better, but I also don't think Sanders was dragging down the defense or anything like that. I would've expected the defense to show substantial improvement next year with or without Sanders. Now, when (if) the defense does improve, much of that improvement will be attributed to the new DC, even if not necessarily justified. At any rate, it's a nice situation for a new DC to jump into. Plenty of talent and flexibility to work with.

IMO a different DC cannot do anything but help.

Oh....i agree Packfan. I don't think he had a clue of what changes to make. At least it SEEMED that way. You have to be able to make adjustments.

Mission accomplished!

I feel bad for Sanders, because it's hard to rejoice in someone being fired, but godamn if I'm not happy about it. Now TT, just draft us some line help and we are back in this thing!
