The owner, Jed York, said "You don't dismiss owners" when asked about his poor tenure since being named club president.

Who, in their right mind, would want to work in Buffalo or SF after these bizarre statements?

"Uh......"

Like I said, just bizarre as hell. Then the whole thing about how he didn't hire Ryan but he's going to hire the new guy...once the owners say it's okay. Oh, and evidently he didn't have anything to do with Lynn coaching this last game but rather it was at Ryan's recommendation?

Alexander Haig seemed more composed than Doug Whaley.

Jesus.

How the hell can people THIS incompetent get multi-million dollar jobs? I'm a horrible public speaker, but I could put together a press conference that was at least coherent. It would be boring but coherent.

And I'm not making millions.
