Just to illustrate how delusional the San Diego sports writers are, Nick Canepa is claiming today that head coach Mike McCoy should not be fired, at least not until the end of the season. As evidence of this theory he cites another sunken ship, "McCoy is the captain. When the Exxon Valdez crashed into Bligh Reef, people didn’t blame the reef."
No, Nick, they blamed the captain, and they didn't wait until he crashed into a dozen more reefs before they fired him.
Update: No, Canepa does not have a valid point regarding injuries. The Chargers lost their best receiver to a season-ending injury. So they are going to lose a whole bunch of games because the team doesn't have any other receivers? Those other guys are no-talent window dressing that were added just as a formality to fill out the roster? They didn't expect them to, you know, actually catch any passes? I guess we only had one linebacker as well, right?
I like the basics of the article, but this guy doesn't know how to make a coherent argument.
ReplyDeleteThe gist I got was firing him or not would make no difference in the long run. Firing the captain of the Exxon Valdiz kept him away from any more reefs for sure. Of course, he made a pretty big whopper when he was there.
