Sounds like they should have killed him.

There's still time.

Seriously though, I remember when Al Davis fired Lane Kiffen and he used an overhead projector to lay out the reasons why he wasn't going to pay Kiffen what he was owed. This was during a press conference in his later years, so not exactly the Trail Blazer that he was in his prime.

Mick Lombardi was awful.

They need to fire Graham.

Firing McDaniels was a no brainer. Not sure about Ziegler. I guess it makes sense because he made moves based on what McDaniels wanted.

He as a GM signed off on Garappalo over Carr.

Any GM not willing to pound the table and demand that that not happen deserves to be fired.

What is even worse is that he guaranteed Jimmy $45M. For a QB that anyone paying attention knows sucks and has no business starting in this league.

Hard to say a GM should be canned over one move. But if there was ever a move that deserves it, that would pretty much be it.

DUMB!
It takes time to implement a system of winning. Look at the Broncos! Sean Peyton WILL turn them around, just takes time.

Totally agree and fwiw, it looks like JimmyG is done as their QB now as well which makes that move even worse. Speaking of JimmyG, his days as a starting QB in this league have to be at or near the end, one would think. He just plain is not a good QB.
