My favorite team is the Trojans when it comes to college football which is bizarre because I went to the Univ. of Arizona who's football team I hate with a passion, but I sure do love Arizona hoops! I started liking the Trojans in H.S. when I was trying to get into their film school-- got waitlisted and went somewhere else before AZ.
It's funny growing up in NY and liking the G-men, Rangers, Knicks, and Yankees- you never get used to one coach for very long, expectations are just too high and the pressure can be maddening for them by way of the fans and media. I have always loved Fassel and how he turned around the Giants- I always supported him. Everytime his job was on the line he always pulled it off, and made us happy enough that we didn't care they weren't in the Super Bowl. I still like Fassel, but I have to agree it is time for a change- not because he is a bad coach but because sometimes a team needs a change in chemistry, and I don't think it's there anymore.
I love and hate Collins at the same time for the reason you mentioned. I can't figure him out. How can you play so incredibly well one day- making smart decisions with no INT's, and the next use your head to play like your in H.S. again with 2 INT's. He really has to cut down on the INT's and bad decisions. The Dallas game in week 2 was a great indicator of just how awful he could be, and week 1 vs. the Rams was a great game for him. He really could have been in the elite, and you and I weren't the only ones who thought that-- every commentator says that, then says "but he never lives up to his potential because he is so inconsistent." Fassel is Collins biggest supporter, and if Fassel goes I have a feeling so will Collins. Maybe he should b/c we need a consistent QB, but who do you think they could replace him with? Myself, I don't see anyone b/c there really isn't anyone. The Broncs got lucky with Plummer pulling it off so far this season- unfortuantely, he did get hurt or you would have had a better record.
