Why the hell did Vulcan/Allen start this shit with TP before the end of the season? The team doesn't need the distractions as they head down the stretch for the playoffs. PA/Vulcan couldn't let things slide until the off-season? Freak'n dumb shits. To me, this whole thing 'feels' like it's personal between PA and KP. Prichard is not perfect but he's done a pretty good job in turning this team from a joke into a playoff team. With Oden healthy, the team is a contender. (Saying that taking Oden was a mistake is hindsight bs.) He's also turned this team into a bunch of guys you WANT to cheer for. I don't see enough of a performance issue to warrant firing him. There are no guarantees if PA replaces KP. He could hire another John Nash to replace him about as easily as hiring another Geoff Petrie. In the end, it's Allen's team, and he can do whatever he wants. If they are going to do this, I can live with it and remain a fan....but it better work. If they fire Pritch, and don't continue to improve under the new regime, I'll be done with this team...after 35 years of being a hard core fan. I've stuck with the team through a lot of crappy years, and if PA is going to screw it up just as the team is arriving....I've had it. I know that my sister and bro-law will cash it in, too, if the team regresses under a new GM. I'm guessing there will be more than just the three of us. My sis and her husband are already pretty hacked off that this crap broke three days after they re-upped for next year's tix. Mr. Allen's timing of this shows that he's not perfect, either.

Seriously: who opens a thread started by MIXUM entitled "My thoughts on..." anything? (Besides me, to post this, obviously.)
Vulcan: In other words, let us run the team, Kevin. Your way has only made us a shitload of money. Let us take over from here. Pritchard: Fuck you, either fire me or I'm leaving after next season. Vulcan: See Paul, our jobs are necessary. Who needs malcontents like this Pritchard asshole around this organization. Now let's get back to fucking up the Seahawks.
