although we don't know this as fact, imo there is something to this. chavis' first 3 years on the job he produced better results than the last 3 and we had a big problem on the DL. sure, the D produced better than the O but that sure wasn't true the year before. I can see that he would have been chastised for this, which is normal. and he probably "felt" he should be above reproach based on his overall body of work over a long period of time got pissed and "accepted" a different job making a million dollars more.

i'm sorry to lose the chief because we knew what we had and with better recruiting and coaching for the front 7 we would most definitely have a great team in the future.

BUT, i'm energized by our two new coaches and look forward to BETTER DEFENSES than we had over the last 3 years and BETTER OFFENSES as well.

i think the draft had something to do with that...I think he was frustrated with the offense and got tired of being leaned on to win the game...could have he been lazy in recruiting?...maybe...Franks tweet yesterday was an eye opener to me...But i still think we downgraded in DC, we may be better in recruiting and DL (and we will need it) but Steele is not on par with Chavis's record...

i believe chief was just upset with the offense not controlling the ball long enough for his defense to rest. our offense put our defense in bad situations and they were tired being on the field so long
