Matt Millen is probably a lot more to do with his team's failure than Mariucci is. Pretty much every person they've taken in the first round since he took over has been a flop. Their o-line stinks (although not nearly as bad as ours, obviously), they have no offensive identity, and they reak of mediocrity. Mooch deserves some of the blame for being soft, but Millen is terrible.
As for letting a coach go in the middle of the season, at this point I'm all for it. How can an interim coach possibly be worse than what we have now? Just look at how the Dolphins did last year. AFTER they dealt Wannstedt away, they won half of their remaining games, including against the eventual world champion Patriots. So getting rid of the head coach doesn't mean the team is going to be worse, necessarily.
Besides, I'd rather get this monkey off our back. I'd like to see some good news in the middle of the season. And although you'd hate to call someone losing their job good news, in this case... well, it is. I just want to get it over with. The longer this firing process is drawn out, the longer we have to suffer seeing Dom Capers' ugly face represent our team. The sooner he's fired, the sooner we can look toward the future, and the sooner we can let all the potential future coaches that there's a job opening in 2006.
