He should have been fired for giving up a FG in 13 seconds, he has constantly underachieved with his talent, come playoff time.

This news is almost a week old.

My apologies.

Evidently there is a new "trend" growing in the NFL.

 

When you want to keep an extremely talented Special Teams Coordinator - you add the title of "Assistant Head Coach".

 

That's how the Cleveland Browns poached Bubba Ventrone from the Colts - and - how the Packers followed suit - in keeping Rich Biasaccia.

Former NFL wideout Danny Amendola has joined the Las Vegas Raiders as a coaching assistant/returners.

 

John Elway is no longer a part of the Denver Broncos front office staff as his contract expired and was not renewed.

I think that was one of the biggest coaching gaffes in a good number of years.    I freely admit I didn’t think of it in real time.   Few did.   
 

But within a few days I read stories about how Buffalo elected not to cover Kelcie and the Bills/Frazier gave him a free release.  No attempt to slow him down.    KC basically ran the same play twice and got roughly 35 yards on two passes to Kelcie which put them in position for the game winning FG with ONE second remaining.   One second. 
 

To Buffalo’s credit, they didn’t fire Frazier.  But I think a good number of teams would have.
