I've been spammed this week with headlines about McCarthy's former players vouching for him and even his cowboys players upset he was dismissed. Are these being reported by the same people who also broke news about Rodgers getting him fired and Parsons talking shit about him during the season this year? If you believe the news that Parsons is now "devastated" about McCarthy not coming back, I'm just going to assume you had to take Geometry more than once in high school.

I clearly have you topped on bad predictions and hot takes. I have lost my enthusiasm for that team and I now expect the wrong decisions to be made. What goes on in that organization?!?!? Do George and Mike McCaskey come up with these bad decisions and then go upstairs to see 102-year-old Virginia sitting in a wheelchair in front of the fire and ask for her approval? That would not shock me if that were true. "Mom, should we fire Eberflus mid-season?"

In retrospect, although we all agree he needed to get fired, firing Eberflus midseason was maybe their worst decision. If you are going to fire him, don't you look around and say, 'Okay, do we have capable people to step in for him?" And the answer should have clearly been "NO"!

I will be right back reading every article, hoping that they can err in their incompetence enough to make a mistake that actually turns out for all the wrong reasons.

Thank god for Notre Dame!!!

An accidental correct move against their incompetence is the only hope!

And, clearly, they did not get a jump on the hiring process after firing Eberflus. But he could not longer be the head coach. Even if that was a mistake, it's not within the top 25 in the last five years.
