Why was James Saxon fired?
 

anyone ... anyone?


they guy has only known success since coming here


Priest Holmes
Larry Johnson
Kolby Smith


even managed to take a tightend and linebacker and make them "feasible" as fullbacks.

Word is Saxon was too soft on Larry. They need someone that will light a fire under his ass and maybe even get him to block.

Who cares. Good for him. Get out of the Herm hell hole.

Common sense, talent, and integrity?

Sometimes its just time for a guy to move on. Get a fresh start.

Nothing wrong with that.

Vermeil remnant

only answer I can come up with is cleaning out the rest of DV. I thought Saxon was one of the bright spots. It wasn't his fault that blocking schemes and plays kept LJ from doing his magic.

Could be because we are changing to zone running, so it would be useful to get a RB coach that knows that system?

it's wrong when you're getting rid of the only coach on the team that's really getting his job done.

Our RBs averaged 3.3 YPC this year. WE WERE DEAD LAST IN RUSH YARDS IN THE NFL!!

That's not getting the job done. THe Oline and RB coach deserved to be fired.

lol - rep

Not to be picky but certainly Herm should go as well, yes?

we were down to our 5th running back in the final game

we have a terrible offense head coach
a terrible rookie OC
our offensive line sucked

Saxon has shown that in a viable offense he can field productive Running backs.


firing Saxon just goes to show that these changes weren't as much about evaluation as it was getting rid of that nagging Arena ball stuff leftover from the previous staff.

True, Mr. doomy3. True. But, don't forget that every single last one of those 3.3 yards was via the anal cavity of a guard or center and that's not easy. Those were hard earned yards.
