Yes! A big step in the right direction (depending on who his replacement is, but-of-course).

Well, that is a plus. Maybe that keeps Pet back as an option, then, if Haslam acknowledges the Farmer's failings?

That's so odd it happened like that because they showed him on TV in the box during the game a few times.

A front office led by Scheiner and Sashi Brown would lend itself to hiring Chip Kelly. Just my own speculation.

Never like to see people's livelihoods and family messed with, but man good riddance. What an utter bafoon he was from day 1.

Now it's time for #2 to pack his bags and we'll have a good start to our off-season.

It would be a tough pill to swallow if we hired someone from within without at least interviewing other people.

Darn right.

I myself, had I been fired before the game, certainly wouldn't have sat in the owners box. Unless the owner got charged for food by the plate. Then I would've, and Jimmy Haslem would be responsible for the 50 plates of food I threw away.

I would never, even if I was expecting to be fired, sit with the guy firing me. Ever.

Ray Farmer hurt this team badly with his decisions. Pettine is not that great, but the talent Farmer assembled was horrid. This team went backwards.

As for Scheiner and Brown, they are temporarily in charge until the hire a GM. I got a feeling Haslam, already has someone lined up.

Unless it will be the VP of Football Operations that many wanted and Sashi will hire the GM and the GM will hire retain scouts.

I dunno.
