Don't know if this was a firing, or if he left. He had nothing to do with the 13 second defense, and if the kickoff call somehow got mixed-up, that wasn't an execution issue, as we've been told, but rather one of communication (lack thereof).
I still can't get over the non-explanation from McDermott-- blaming execution. Nope, the players were put in a situation where the events that occurred were made possible. There is no accountability. I have to assume it was a Frazier/McDermott decison, which would explain why Frazier still has a job. Not upgrading the DC will keep a weak, play- not- to- lose coaching philosophy in place.
Yeah, you can't squander opportunities like that. There are good players coming up in the league-- Burrow, Herbert, etc. You don't know what lies ahead.
