Wayne,

You looked absolutely mortified in Houston, and we can see why. So can anybody who's watching, by the way. Your team sucks, plain and simple. They're dead last in their division, and there's no chance that they're going to get any better any time soon.

So you have some serious choices ahead. Sure, you gave Jack a nice, fat contract last year, and what did he do for you? He embarrassed you on a national scale. He made your team the laughing stock of the league. Beat by the winless Bengals. Beat by Cleveland. Beat like a drum by every other team in the division. Humiliated at home so many times you're never going to sell the unnamed stadium out again. That's the thanks you get for rewarding him for a mediocre first five years. Yeah, mediocre, because he never won the division, nor the conference. He was anything but consistent in a game that demands consistency. Yeah, it's expensive to dump him, but you could probably make a lot of that up by bringing in a good coach like Bill Cowher, who would fill the stadium every week, rain or shine. Who do you think is going to show up to watch DelRio perform his sideline stoic act next year?

At this point you need to bring the entire organization, coaches and players, together and tell them the following. Jones Drew and Garrard are protected. Everyone else, coach and player alike, must prove to you in the next four games why you should retain their services next year. If they don't, they go. Simple as that. And if you get rid of Shack Harris before the draft, you have a chance of getting some good players in here next year. Bring in a good coach, and good players will gravitate to Jacksonville. Bring DelRio back, and you'll have the same mess you have now. The Players don't respect him, the fans want his head on a pike, and the rest of the league wants you to keep him so they can beat him next year.

Watch the ESPN replay of the game, and concentrate on the shots of DelRio on the sidelines. A rock has more passion. You wonder why he lost his locker room? Look at him. He's asking passion from his players, and doesn't show one iota of passion himself. Why should he; you gave him a fat contract and he thinks he's safe. He can go home and go to sleep and not care at all. Can you?

Of course, you can make a few minor changes next year and end up with the same result . That's the definition of insanity however, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Keeping DelRio is doing the same thing, and you'd be insane to do it.

Have a nice day.

The Fans
