Well, we knew this was coming. Brad Childress was relieved of his coaching duties on Monday afternoon. After the 31-3 embarrassment at home to the Green Bay Packers, I figured this move would be made. Here's how I feel: Are the players accountable? Absolutely - they're the ones on the field paid to play. However, you can't fire the players, only coaches. The coach was out of flavor with nearly all the fans and players. He was a stubborn guy in press conferences and came across arrogant. I'm glad to see him go and I hope Leslie Frazier can come in now and show his stuff. This is pretty much his audition if he wants to be a candidate for the head coaching job. In his 4 seasons here, Childress went 39-35 and 2 NFC North Titles. He was an overtime away from qualifying for the Super Bowl last season.
