All coaches get fired whether as a HC or part of a staff that is let go. Being fired is part of the business. I'd still take LaPo over many other OC's. Except Dave Dickenson & even he has made some whopper of mistakes while being acknowledged as being one of the brightest in football. LaPo has done very well & has had a lot of success at the OC level. Does he make mistakes? Sure but every coach does like Dickenson's goal line call in the 2016 GC with Andrew Buckley. **** happens even to the best of them.
As bad as some of the short yardage LaPo play calls were last Saturday against BC nothing compares to that incredibly stupid onside punt last night that June Jones called when the Ti Cats were leading & had the Riders on the ropes. His response as to why they used it? Hey, it worked all 4 times they tried it in practice. So why not? Jones got greedy. Instead of kicking it deep to the Rider offense & let his defense take care of business, Jones wanted to recover the punt. Jones got tricky. So tricky that he tricked himself. I've seen major blow outs on playcalling & it happens to everyone. LaPolice is the best OC we've had.... since he was the OC with us last time. He & Nichols work well together but nights like last Saturday are going to happen occasionally.
