Wow.. after one game LA fires their defensive coordinator. Bold move cotton...

Should fire Kanoff.

And Coach Moss spoke so highly of him at first.


Manziel is better then Kanoff don't give me that crap.

Kanoff played well for only being with the team a short period.

Pretty sure there was a physical altercation.... with peppers resume I dont see him just being fired off one game.

I'm thinking him and Anthony Johnson got into it.

We'll see how long it takes before, like Shawn Oakman, he's back on the staff.

I hate seeing crap like this. The league needs to look legitimate and firing a DC after one game not only looks immature but it looks amateurish

What's non-legit about it, is it not a football move? You can debate whether it's the right one but don't tell me it's not a football move. My arena team (now an IFL team) fired their OC after two games years ago. It was lame, but trust me the AFL did enough to make themselves look non-legit. Teams canning coaches early in the season weren't among them.

"Emergency league action" is not legitimacy. Wanna have these lameass "XFL is just a vehicle to showcase Wrestlemania" headlines? There you go, and we'll be waiting at least five years for another alt league.

Luck should have never said anything about stepping in and firing coaches, that's something off Blitz The League FFS

The NFL used to do this all the time. It only stopped about 10 years ago when they realized it didn't have a positive impact on their record.

Comparing the XFL to the Arena league to me doesnt help the argument of legitimacy.

The XFL should learn from those NFL mistakes from a decade ago

Coach Moss is a defensive minded guy. Maybe they tried it coach Johnson’s way with the caveat that if he failed, he’d be gone.

Kind of puts all on edge if they don’t perform, they’ll be gone too.

They gotta win at home this weekend.

I'm not comparing the XFL to the Arena League, I'm talking about a coaching move

Which is all this is, what you're p/ming for would completely delegitimize the league.
