Why Kokinis? Why now?
I figured Kokinis would be instrumental in preparing us for the Draft.

Mangini is supposedly telling him what to do instead of the other way around. It's no surprise that Mangini would throw this guy under the bus. As I said, Mangini is making alot of strange decisions and the guy is letting his ego get in the way. Mangini should be fired right along with him. There is no way that either of your QBs could even do a worse job of coaching this team right now let alone if your owner actually started to really decide to get serious and pick up someone with a proven track record to lead your team.
I know... Fuk off FOS, you don't know shit about football.

Fuk off FOS you dont know shit about football!!!111!one
I don't know how to react yet. So I hope that comment will suffice.

Once again I will point to this thread where I not only called out Mangini as worse than Romeo but also the fact that the GM was nowhere to be found.
This GM and coach seem very out of touch. Don't be surprised if they are both fired by seasons end.

Of 30 orgs in the league, we have to be fans of this one... at least it's not the Raiders...
I'm trying to understand the logic of firing the GM. Even if he made all the trades, it's too early to know if the draft picks and trades are going to pan out.
Kokinis wasn't prepping the players and putting them on the field.
I love Bernie, but please say he will not be made the GM of this team. We are going to be an even greater league laughing-stock if that happens. By all means, hire a real VP Operations and bring in Kosar to learn under him and perhaps one day take over for him... but you don't put a greenhorn in the GM role.
If Lerner doesn't like what he sees, the correct move is to fire the GM AND THE COACH, and hire a VP Operations and let that guy select a new GM and coach... Which is what he should've done in the first place!
-
Don't hire a greenhorn? Kokinis has many, many years of being an NFL guy.
I'd rather, just once, have a GM that KNOWS FOOTBALL.
My guess is, Kokinis was alienating other front office staff, and some coaches.
Learner found out about it, and got Kok's butt out of town.
Maybe it was Kokinis who was pressuring to save the 11 million via the back door, keeping Quinn on the bench.
That's about the only explanation I can come up with.

I was joking. But I really don't know how to react to this yet.

What must Phil Savage be thinking tonight, I am sure he will open his mouth to someone.

It's obvious that Bernie knows football, but you don't just bring in a guy and stick him in the all-important GM role. That would be an Al Davis-type move.
I'm not a fan of Kokinis - given how invisible he's been, how could one be? -- but it's just weird that you have a situation with a wannabe svengali as coach who apparently has all the power, and an invisible GM, and the GM gets the axe. The only thing I can think of is that Lerner had enough of Kokinis' invisibility and has decided to bring in a VP Ops and a new GM after the year, then let that person make a decision on Mangini, or like you said... Kokinis did something behind the scenes to merit the firing.
When is the last time a GM was fired in the middle of a season? I'm sure it's happened, but it seems a bit unusual...

Just became!? Dude have you seen the past 10 years?
What we're seeing here in 2010 is precisely what happened in NE a decade ago. It worked for them then, and it wiill work for us now. Why? Because it's the only way it's ever worked in pro football. Just ask Paul Brown. Or Vince Lombardi. Or Tom Landry. .02, Clemdawg -
there has to be more to this. kokinas did something to piss lerner off. maybe he wouldn't listen to him or was insubordinate but this is not just a terrible record with terrible players thing. i am waiting to hear more about it really.

We have the worst offense in football, under a rookie Offensive Coordinator, so we fire the GM.
Mangini, Ryan and I believe there is another coach on-staff that have Defensive Coordinator experience. Look for an Offensive minded GM-type to come in.
That's not Cowher.

New GM: The Chin
New President of Football Operations: TUNA!

how much does Learner have to dish out in severance pay??? Good God it has to be a tremendous amount....this organization is horrid and a joke

Rumor on the street is that:
New president of football operations would be:
And GM would be:
Come on, folks, put two and two together.

Exactly. They are not happy with what happened in the last draft and want to install someone who can prepare us for the draft before the season is out. Mack and Robiski aren't exactly lighting things up.
