If it was purely about the on-field results... I am with Dawk. We were a bad team this year, but there is some talent there, and with a few changes (and if Bradford keeps improving) we could have something. We need the offense to get back to where it was, with a similar defense, and we should have a good team. Something was wrong in the mix with the offense this year, and yes coaching definitely had something to do with it, but it might have something that Kelly could have learned from and improved with another year. Results-wise, he did deserve another year to see if he could right the ship -- one bad year should not have done it.
But... this must have been about more than that. If he had well and truly lost the locker room, that may have made it necessary. Marynowitz being fired too really casts another light on it -- he was not simply just firing Kelly. Maybe Marynowitz had really done something to poison his relationship with Lurie, and Kelly wasn't going to stand for losing his main personnel guy two years in a row. I'm sure there will be lots of conspiracy theorists on a Roseman vs Marynowitz battle. *Something* was still bad at the front office level; I just hope Lurie fired the right side of it.
