Lindsey's firing....what does it mean

If they were simply looking for a scapegoat then why not Jackson?

The secondary was a bigger mess than the LBs.

Those are exactly my sentiments. Plus, Gibbs is NOT the kind of coach or man who would scapegoat a guy. He has too much class and honor to do that.

If the ESPN story is true, Jackson deserves to be fired just for being a pouter, let alone a bad coach who fielded a bad unit.

I completely agree. There was obviously more to Lindsey's firing than him simply being scapegoated. If we took a poll after the season asking who was more likely to be fired, Lindsey or Jackson, I can't see how many would have picked Lindsey.

I'm prone to believe he was fired after Gibbs compiled all of the responses given by the players and coaching staff during the exit interviews (or whatever they're called). He probably noticed some similiarities between players and coaches comments suggesting that Lindsey's presence was not going to be conducive to the success of the team in 2007.
