fire everyone

I ask this quite simply because I was out in Denver late Saturday night before the Broncos game at a very respectable local establishment, enjoying a few beverages with friends, and your defensive coordinator Frank Bush was there until close (around 2 a.m.), just like me. To be VERY clear, Bush didn't appear to be doing anything Deadspin-worthy, he was just socializing with people and appeared to be enjoying himself. Like the rest of us.

However, he's not like the rest of us. He's the defensive coordinator for your team and the game is in twelve hours.

So that's why I'm asking you, Gary -- is this normal? Is it okay for coaches to be out the night before a game (even drinking a club soda) until two in the morning? If it is, then Frank Bush wasn't doing anything wrong according to your rules. If it's not, then the guy you've taken bullet after bullet for all season long was very publicly breaking your rules.

Another week, another Texans loss. We can't even be surprised at the creative ways Houston found to choke against the Broncos in Denver.

Gary Kubiak's Monday Presser: 12/27/10

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds as though Kubes is saying that Rick Dennison is OC in name only: (on people saying that he takes the blame for everyone else when the play calls are bad) "What I do as a coordinator is I do the game plans. I go out there to cal the game, but I take input from everybody. I take input from (offensive line coach) John Benton, Rico (offensive coordinator Rick Dennison) and I work together. I take input from all of the coaches. I think calling games in this league is about everybody putting their brains together. It really doesn’t matter who actually says, ‘okay, this is the play we’re going to run.’ I think we all come to that conclusion and what we want to do in situations and we go forward with that. I think being good and to me, there’s been a lot of good things on offense, comes from a lot of guys working together. It’s not just about the guy who sends the play in."

Fire Everyone! - The Trainers (Epilogue)

Four months and a thousand years ago, I mused, "We've got Keith Woolner bringing new-wave mathematics to our statistical analysis. Do we have a mad genius physical therapist studying experimental training techniques? Should we?" Well, Jack Z. does. Mariners beat reporter Geoff Baker (somewhat breathlessly) reports that the M's have brought in Santa Barbara-based Dr. Marcus Elliot of The P3 Project on a continuing three-year mission -- er, contract -- to overhaul their conditioning system. Participation will be mandatory for minor leaguers, optional for the topside guys. (Junior, notably, is opting out.) Elliot's system forsakes traditional weighted resistance training for plyometrics and other exercises designed to minimize injury and to increase the amount of lateral force players can generate with hip rotation. Elliot believes cardiovascular endurance and vertical force generation have been over-emphasized in baseball exercise programming. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, in January the Indians quietly replaced former strength coach Tim Maxey with 28-year-old Joe Kessler of Oakland's OAK Athletic Development. Kessler, like the Mariners' new guru, has experience working with NFL players.

Asked by The Post late in the year how he felt about the catchers' defense and handling of the pitchers, [Dan] Warthen pursed his lips and said: "Next question."

— Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post This is why you were supposed to fire everyone after a disastrous season. All the survivors are going into job protection mode.
