Davis usually likes to drag these things out but with Hue Jackson receiving interest his hand was forced. Any guy that can take a last place offense in nearly every category into top 10 in yards and number six in points scored with Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski as your starting QB's and not a single go-to receiver knows what he's doing and I expect Jackson will be named the head coach within the next couple of weeks.

Man did some players ever come out loudly to support Cable as the head coach and state how badly they wanted to play for him. Lechler slammed old man Davis on FSN tonight.
