I'm afraid I've had about as much as I can take of this. All season long there have been a handful of people posting on the site complaining about Mariucci. They drum up all kinds of statistics and spurious claims "80% of the fans feel the way I do" to support their lame arguements. They even go so far as to say" I don't care if we win the Super Bowl, Mariucci has to go". My advice to all of you is to follow Mike Mitchell's advice and find another team to root for because what it all seems to boil down to with you guys is that the team isn't "funner" to watch. It's not about wins, it's not about having to play 3/4 of the year without your starting or even sometimes your 2nd string safties on the field. It's not about losing your best nickel linebacker in the fourth game of the season, or your starting guard in the first game. OR not having a player you had relied on for special teams out for more than a month because of injuries that may or may not have been aggravated by his religious beliefs, or having lost your special teams captain to injury in the first few games then having to further deplete that team when you had to move players up to fill in for injured starters. Or having your league leading punt retuner lost for the season just when he was starting to make an impact. And despite what some of you claim, Mariucci has never once used the injuries they've had as an excuse. He has always said every team has injuries you just have to go out and play with what you've got. It's also not about having a QB who has been remarkably inconsistent all year, missing throws and making some decisions that certainly cost them points and in one case might have cost them the game. Or about receivers who drop 3rd down passes and touchdowns when the game is on the line. It's about having fun. Oh, the team doesn't win every game by 20pts anymore, boo hoo. Oh they don't have enough 50yd td passes, boo hoo. Oh, they were only the second team to clinch, their division this year, boo hoo, Oh they only have the second best won and lost record in the league over the past two years, boo hoo. They can only sweep their division if they beat the Rams this week , boo hoo. I think Steve Young said it best, he said it was never good enough just to win in San Francisco, you had to win with "style points" as well. That certainly seems to be true around here and I must say it really is pathetic.
