    The $64,000 question is will Mike make a change with the ST coordinator now or not. I'm not holding my breath...

    Slocum was irate !
    Problem is that a sideline blowup is ineffectual at that point. Everyone knew the cost. It needed to be driven home long before that.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I came away from MM's PC believing Slocum will be fired. He didn't make any excuses for the ST play, and pointed out how damaging it was. Regarding the fake fieldgoal TD he said "They had a better play called than we did".

If they are forced to be working with sub-standard players who either physically or mentally can't do the job, then that goes up the chain to TT. Stubby typically doesn't like to blame players or coaches in a PC, but he does give hints!
    According to McGinn's special teams article where he has several quotes from Morton, House was supposed to rush the kicker and not contain. He pulls up or doesn't get a good jump and is therefore in a position to pursue Ryan instead of crashing the kicker. So House was out of position and because of that in a position to make a play.

    There is simply too much out there now for Mike McCarthy to ignore.

    Mike McCarthy will FIRE Shawn Slocum and replace him for the 2015 Season.

    This move is too obvious. It's way overdue.

    You might be right if you've got more of the context. I was just reading the tea tweets and they made it sound like Slocum might skate on the backs of players who "failed to execute".
