something tells me this wouldn't fly with EddieD. He fired a SB winning head coach for not bringing more titles to SF. I guess times haves changed…
when did he do that?
George Seifert. And no point going into the semantics. We know he "quit", but everyone knew it was Eddie pushing him out bc he couldn't overcome the Green Bay Packers. He was coaching the Panthers the following year.
EddieD wanted nothing short of perfection. And like him, the fans demanded it. I'm sure the fans of today would have been quite content with Seifert losing perennially to the Cowboys and Packers in the NFCC games because you know….it's "successful" season
This is such an over simplification of the complexities of life and history. Demand excellence and perfection or else lol. Like it magically just shows up by continuously axing people, especially successful people…
Let me remind you that there are many ways to the top, let me also remind you that he burned out walsh and was pushing out seifert. There's no gaurantee that he would have kept winning and not turned into the Jerry Jones of the NFL. We'll never know because his actions and choices led to him losing the franchise.
let's try to be more productive than whining about being in second place. Maybe give Shanny the time to develop into the Holgram / Belicheck / Walsh type coach he's going to become whether it's here or there.
I will not let someone like you tell me that I'm insufficient because I'm ok the results we have had. Im ok with it because I see growth year over year and when we breach that ceiling I believe we will be in a place to return and return and return.
let me just say back to you, stop being so short sighted and tangential. Nobody likes to hear from chicken little everyday
