While I'm not a fan, it seems like a step back for the organization. Not that Jackson was the world's best coach, but why not give him (or basically anyone who can walk & chew gum) a second year in hopes of establishing some kind of foundation there. They go right back into the whirlwind. One wonders how Carson Palmer feels about the results of his trade demand now.

Jackson deserved to be fire for that ridiculous trade that gave up a lot with getting no extra wins as a result. That was the worst trade I can recall in a very long time.

It's no "Iggy", but a great call by the Swedish announcers at the WJHC last week in Calgary.
