The Jacksonville Jaguars' upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday night has not placated critics of Coach Jack Del Rio, including the anonymous publisher of FireDelRio.Com: "Even though you won, some glaring problems still surfaced," writes the former publisher of FireTomCoughlin.Com. "You still need to take an axe to some of your staff."
I agree with mick. If the Jags could get a good teacher for Leftwich, to get him out of his bad habits (which, incidentally, he has looked better at recently) permanently, the sky's the limit. Also, these "FireJoeSchmoe.com" sites need to stop, if only because I'm tired of hearing about them every game. The owners might as well have named them "HireMeTheKnowitall.com".

I don't like the anonymous aspect of the site. Feel free to have an opinion but be a mensch and stand behind it.

When FireTomCoughlin.Com was launched, I disagreed with the publisher but thought he had a few good points. Besides, after all the times Coughlin publicly humiliated players and cut them after a single mistake, he deserved to take some heat for three losing seasons in a row. Now, though, it's clear the guy is just publishing the Del Rio site to attract attention.

I think the troubles are somehow related to Ken Anderson. He gets fired from The Bengals staff where he was the QB coach and they turn around. Then because of the great success he had in Cincy with Blake, Ferrot, O'Donnel and David Klingler (!?!?) he got hired in Jacksonville and the team is crap.
