Should Ellinger be fired?

With the disasterous results RSL is having, is it beyond belief to see Ellinger be fired or retained?

Let him see this year out. If, after next year starts, we are still on same trajectory, then make a decision.

Why do you add comments after the answers.

Should Ellinger be fired?
it is a simple Yes, No, Don't know poll.
I chose "no" because that was the closest available answer to what I think, but I would like to have added my own opinions to the thread. Not have my reason for choosing no to be already dictated to me by the comment after the No choice.

No I don't think it is Ellinger that is the problem. I believe that stability is the answer to the problem. Firing Coach E will not ensure stability.

Why?
Because I have the personal freedom to write what I like. Thats what I like about America.

If you don't like my polls, either don't read them or make your own.

Enjoy.

Deuce, did you get enough sleep last night? You're a very nice person but you seem a bit out of sorts. Could it be the numbers "5" and "1" that is causing this? 😉

Who else here is feeling out of sorts this morning? Not me. My life philosophy of "expect the worst and hope for the best" is serving me very well today.

You know my honest opinion? The #1 thing that coach needs to do that he isn't doing right now is: make the team work a little more, practice a little more. When Chivas got their new coach, they went into mandatory two-a-day practices for a stretch to whip them into shape. The one time I went to practice, it was 90% guys standing around and 10% "Oh look the ball is coming toward me." Granted that was only one experience, but it made me think, "If this is the way they practice, no wonder they play like they do."

My apologies to anybody who has been to practice approximately 1000X more often than myself and has seen the full picture.

Me. But mostly from sleep deprivation.

I haven't even watched past minute 25 yet, so I don't even have the pleasure of *****ing about the game on the Internet.

Uncle Dave has already stated that he is not a fan of firing coaches, so this thread is rather pointless. We are an expansion team, we are supposed to be bad.

thanks for the neg rep but it was a legitimate question... I can see that you can not handle people asking you questions that you don't like.

I just thought I would ask why you have to dictate my opinion. I am quite capable of forming my own opinion. If you don't like people that try to understand you motivation and question your methods than don't set your self up to be questioned. and if you don't like my questions don't bother reading or answering them.

I believe then, you would agree with option #2 "No, this is Ellinger's first year and expansion sides take time."

Did I not provide a enough options for answers?

I understand everyones anger from last night. If it helps you to take it out on my little poll, please be my guest.

However, I would caution you that getting mad at me probably won't change anything on the field (although you never know).
