Thread: Fire Jack Del Rio

    So JDR don't get Tebow, so Tebow goes out and gets JDR.
    I had to make this a Tebow thread somehow. Like the others.

    Is it true that JDR waited until today to come to Denver? Wow. What a lazy ass. I have faith that Tebow will teach him a good work ethic.

    I am wondering the exact same thing. I've heard a few posters say he is a "bad person" but not a single thing to back it up. Getting lazy toward the end of a job you are about to lose anyway and having a big ego don't make you a bad person.

    That's not what Motorboat's divine guidance on the topic has taught us

    Pretentious is and pretentious does.

    Stop being douches for two seconds and realize there's something to Prisco's report.

    That said, no one has ever said they don't want Del Rio to succeed. No one has ever said they won't be rooting for him. There are questionable issues in his past, both schematically as a coach and as well as a leader. That doesn't mean he's not humbled. It doesn't mean he is. And I have no idea how well he'll do in Denver and neither do you.

    I dislike the hire, you don't. But don't act like complete **** sticks because you don't have the same perspective I do.

    Personally, I could care less about anything in Del Rio's past (assuming it doesn't include the word "diddle"). That goes for the good and the bad. I'll be "judging" him for what he does as a Bronco, that's it.

    The same process that brought in Allen as a DC brought in Del Rio. Any character issues are offset by the fact he has worked under Fox before. I'm optimistic we'll continue to see our defense improve under JDR.
    If not me, who?

    and your perspective means jack shit compared to Fox's. who picked up JDR without a seconds hesitation.. that told me volumes... the hire will be what it will be -- good or bad but it s clear Fox believes in him and JDR's history with defenses as a position coach, DC, and HC have has shown to be successful.

    how much less could you care?

    couldN'T care less implies a COMPLETE lack of concern.
    could care less means there is some level of concern.
    could NOT care less is what you were going for.

    He doesn't and I don't think he ever claimed too.

    However, he is aware of some events that took place....events that would make any reasonable person question Jack's work ethic.

    It doesn't mean that he will fail as a DC. It just means that, at certain points in his coaching career, he was known to be lazy. It's really no different (IMO) for Jack then it is for anyone else. Once someone has been at a certain job for a fair number of years, they tend to become fat and lazy (content). It happens to a lot of people, regardless of industry.

    That being said, I would guess that getting fired will light a fire under his ass and he will be ready to get to work. At least that is my hope.

    BB also swooed down and re-hired JMCD, without hesitation... so that alone does not make JDR an unquestionable hire in my book. FWIW, I like JDR and think he will do a great job.
    I hope he likes the rocky mountains and sticks around.

    Pat Bowlen and Mike Shanahan are very intelligent men.

    They've made bad hires.

    Your faith in Fox and perspective also means jack shit.

    Shut down the forum. Our opinions mean nothing...

    Bottom line, Del Rio could have sat at home and collected $5m. Instead, he's working and collecting $5m. I'm not sure what the secret events were, don't really care either tbh. One unsecret event I do know of, Jack Del Rio is doing this job for free. That says something.
    If not me, who?

    so you read the DelRio file that Beef's been alluding to?

    I agree with your assessment that some people get fat. I would also assert that if you've been in the same position for a while and you feel like you've been busting your ass for the organization and you're not seeing reciprocation on their part (ie the boss man isn't providing you with the tools you need to succeed or paying your staff) It's not unfathomable that a guy would lose some of his fire.

    atleast I know it.. that's why I said it wil be good or bad -- but based on the speed of hire and the history of the relationship, and the defensive qualities of the coach, it's more reasonable to conlude it to be a smart hire than a bad one b/c he was once known to do something lazy... net/net -- if you look at what Fox Knows and what Moto knows then the comparison becomes laughable. end of story.. Fox knows more about JDR than Moto.
