I just had the opportunity to watch it in full.

I've always thought that I've understood why Mr. Lurie took the risk he did with a college coach and I still feel that way, even here at the end of my very sucky season I am glad he took such a risk. I'm not going to bitch about my dashed hopes for my team.

I think the only players who liked Chip were the kids, and only because they didn't know any better.

I want to keep Sam.

I'm concerned about someone new coming in and getting rid of those I think are very productive players like Malcolm and Darren and quite a few others.

I don't know enough about football to speak of 4-3, 3-4 or whatever the hell it's called, I only know I have concerns about losing good people.

He was asked straight up that exact question and he didn't answer it. He didn't rudely ignore it but he simply began talking about Howie, Don and himself working together.

He's been spending time with the players, he said there had been a players only meeting this morning and there would be another one this afternoon as well as meeting with individual players. I took him to be sincere in his concern for them in the middle of this shit storm. He addressed a question about a new coach and the kinds of things he was looking for and one of the things he said was that he must have a heart. I found that interesting.

I didn't see it but I heard about it.

I think the Titans will take a chance on Chip.

No way!

You know he is, DeSean too.

Quote:"I was ecstatic," Smith said following Wednesday's practice when asked what his initial reaction was to the news of Kelly's release. "I didn't expect it to happen right when it did. I didn't think it was going to happen. I know speculation, that everybody was was talking about it on ESPN. I was actually getting a massage when it happened. I really can't tell you how it happened. It just did."

Smith later clarified his comments to NJ Advance Media that he meant to express surprised, rather than excited by the news of his former head coach's firing.
