Okay, so I suspect while the players have all fled the firestorm Mack and Burke are looking at their options. 

 

* Fire Crowton? Not gonna happen now. Crowton just played his mulligan -- the QB switch -- so they have to let him try to make chicken salad with Goltz. Plus, who else is going to OC? Burke can't, we don't have a Doug Berry kicking around, and Lapo isn't going to happen.

 

* Fire Burke? See above. He will last the season, cause who the hell else will do it. Creehan?

 

* Fire Mack. Highly doubt Joe is the falling on the sword type, so he'll wait for Botch to do it. But he's on vaca, so likely no change will happen there. Plus, what would it accomplish? If you're paying Mack, might as well let him have more time to see if he can make some moves -- you can always dump him in the fall and still have time to line up his replacement. 

 

Guaranteed, however, that a short list of new GMs is being quietly prepared. 

 

SO what does that leave? A player purge/swap.

 

I say Denmark will get shipped (somewhere) or cut outright and you MAY see Bucky go before vet cutdown day.

 

JJ won't get cut cause he's improved but Im sure he's being dangled as trade bait. 

 

Any other predictions?

If I was Miller. I'd hunt down that Board Member... Make it Job One.

They probably do have their suspicions but what type of investigation can be done other than interviewing Board members and hoping for a confession?

On a side note, why do people keep saying Buchko was fired? He resigned. Whether he initiated it himself or was ask... who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if he made the decision. If I were him I don't think I would want to stay when I knew someone was trying to undermine me and couldn't be trusted.

Miller said he talked to Joe and relieved him of his duties...how do you think that doesn't spell "Fired"?

Probably the same way you think "Buchko" spells "Joe Mack"

Miller said he talked to Joe and relieved him of his duties...how do you think that doesn't spell "Fired"?

 

it isn't really.

 

you can resign and then be relieved by your successor.

Miller is thanking that person, he got what he wanted and a group of BOD members got what they wanted.
