Spaulding wrote: Did you guys know that during the interview today? On the 1985 Super Bowl-winning Bears, Plank was the inspiration for the 46 defense, which was devised by Ryan's father Buddy. Appearing Monday on "The Danny Mac Show" on WSCR-AM 670, Plank said he would relish a chance to coach for the Bears. "One thing that I feel like I've been able to bring through my coaching career, whether it was in the Arena League or here in the National Football League, is success. You know last year I was with the Falcons. We went to the playoffs at 11-5, and I like to feel that I contributed something toward this Jets season, in terms of confidence and just playing with a swagger. So I'm just looking for an opportunity, I guess." Plank, who coached the Jets' defensive backs, was fired. Assistant quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, special-teams coach Kevin O'Dea and defensive quality control coach Brian Smith had expiring contracts that weren't renewed and pass-rushing consultant Chuck Smith took a job at the University of Tennessee, a Jets spokesman confirmed. |

Yeah, they were getting burned almost every week with those deep passes... oh wait, they were the best team in the league versus the pass this season? By 31 yards per game to the next best team? Almost 20% better than the next best team? J-E-T-S! |

I'll bet Plank is in Lake Forest next week for an interview. Not saying I think he's the right guy for the Bears DC, but who the hell else is left??? |

Arena ball!!!!!!!!! Quote: I like to feel that I contributed something Apparently, the Falcons and Jets disagree. Quote: in terms of confidence and just playing with a swagger. RUNAWAY MEATBALL.... RUNAWAY MEATBALL!!!!! Please say no to this. But, watch it happen. |

Is this an odd firing? |
