Why Was Danny Smith Allowed To Keep A Job? The all things Danny Smith Thread(Merged & M.E.T.)

[GhostofSparta]

I can't sign this petition fast enough or enough times. For as bad as this team has been over the last decade, we've lost a lot of close games due to piss-poor special teams performances. It's gotten old.

I have been saying this for YEARS!!! I'm glad you have this thread because I have a few friends who think he should be kept for "having top kick coverage in league" I think maybe a few extra sticks of gum might help him.

Goodness people choose some strange scapegoats.

[LightningBuggs]

Absotively, posilutely must go.

Special teams is a complete joke.

Eh, I dunno. We've had a truly inordinate amount of miscues on field goals this year that can't be placed on the kicker. You've got to wonder where that comes from.

Regardless, I'd rather people blame Danny Smith than any of the previous scapegoats who have actually done very well over the course of the season (Mike, Kyle, Josh Wilson, Trent Williams, Barry Cofield, etc.).

I don't think anyone is really posting this thinking this post, on a forum, is going to get a guy fired, fellas. Relax.

And in the end, it's obviously Bruce and Mike's call. They run the team, they make the decisions. And I certainly have a hard time hoping for a coach in the profession I love to get fired.

But given the evidence, if everything is as it appears, I don't see how you keep him on board. Perhaps he needs a change in scenary, because there's no doubt that he knows his stuff.

It's not a matter of scapegoat in this situation. It's based on a consistent trend of inexcusable mistakes from his area of responsibility. The performance has been so sub par it's absurd. Fill the role with an up & coming coaching talent, not a coach who has overstayed his tenure & clearly has digressed instead of progressed.

Hail.

Not even Norv?

Was waiting for you Bang.

This unit has cost us multiple games this season alone.

The fact that Suisham goes to Pittsburgh and actually becomes a solid kicker for them is damning.

Gladly sign.

The only bad thing about letting him go is bubble gum sales in the Northern VA area take a big hit.

Don't fire him but instead tell him we're going in another direction and we wish him well in his next adventure.

Then maybe program the wrong address into his car's GPS and change the locks. Hopefully he gets the hint.

Any chance we can get a poll? I'm standing by an assisstant coach who has survived three different regimes. He's got to be doing something right for Shanny to retain him after the Zorn debacle.

[HailGreen28]

Thinking about it, I'm still all for signing it, but I really hope Shanny doesn't listen to fans when making these kind of choices.

He's just a bridge between regimes. It's been two years and he's not needed anymore.

SIgned.

You're sure a guy like Shanahan doesn't know anybody else who could have been his ST coach? Smith must impress him.
