Had to happen. Now the important part to find the coach. Very important decision.

Kind of surprised to see Pope go. Never had a problem with him or our RB's.

The firing of Messingham had to happen to give some hope and a selling point to next year.

Would have liked to have seen Bleil go instead of Pope, but at least they're trying something.

Re: Messingham, Pope fired

Wow, what huge news, especially for everyone on this board after countless threads. party time!

edit: I always thought he would go, but some on this board convinced me otherwise, or at least a demotion. I'm a tad surprised for some reason. But good job CPR.

Kinda surprised. Mess had his moments with good playcalls, but he also had some really mind boggling ones, and I think you could tell he was in a bit over his head to be a BCS level OC. His ability to develop QB's also left something to be desired.

He is a human being though, so I have empathy for him losing his job and wish him nothing but the best in the future.
