Plaschke knows dick all.  Also not firing him makes total sense.  As much as I enjoy seeing him fail that team is not far off wins and you do not junk coaches after like 10 games.

IDK, he was handed a team that went 10-7 a year ago with an interim HC who finished 2nd in a tough division and were in the playoffs.

Theyre in last, 2-7 led by a HC who in his first stint as HC was a monumental failure.  
In every way this season is a huge failure while they have a shiny new stadium to fill and pay off.

Why did you even hire him then if you are ready to move on after 10 games? 

The only reason would be if it's an Urban Meyer situation where everything he does is a disaster. That isn't the case there, but it looks like McDaniels won't be able to get fired for 2 years at least, which is probably worrying.

Coaches who come from the Belicheck tree try to imulate his personality and it doesn't work because they don't have the rings....the end result is the locker rooms have hated them all. 

Most of the coaches off the BB tree aren't Dustin Hoffman.

Not all 2-7 records re the same just like not 8-8 records are the same.  They have been up and blown leads in a lot of games, they are also hamstrung by the awful previous gming of mayock and gruden.

I agree.  But the fact remains they were a 10-7 playoff team and blowing leads are still losses.  The last GM hamstring them to that record and playoff position.  
You play 60 minutes, not 40 or whatever point you may have been leading.  No one gets credit for being close

Gruden would still be their HC if the Commissioner didn't intentionally leek private e-mails to get him fired. 

Why defend Gruden?  Leaked or not, those emails were shameful and horrible. A person who thinks that way and on top of it is stupid enough to put it in an email doesn't deserve an NFL HC job where you have to lead 53 men of different backgrounds.  I don't understand the Gruden support from anyone.  Gruden's crime was not being exposed, but the content of the emails.  He deserves what he got, even if others did the same thing and were not caught or exposed.  The emails were not fabricated.  Any person in a responsible job who sent emails like those would be fired. Period.  Next time you get stopped for a traffic violation like speeding,  try the "but I drive this road every day and everybody speeds" argument and see how far that gets you with the police officer and, if you challenge it, the judge.  Everybody does it, but only I got caught is not a defense to any kind of violation or crime.  Nor is it an excuse for bad judgment or bigotry.
