THERE IS a difference between deserving a job and doing well after you've been given given chance after chance. Based on his performance over the previous six years, as well as Jeffrey Lurie's short, 11-month "accountability" leash for Chip Kelly as coach/general manager, Howie Roseman should have been fired.
When you admit you've made unwise "Band-Aid" personnel moves in the past, as Roseman did, and then you make similar moves a few weeks later, you're being hypocritical. Even if the latest "Band-Aid" moves are shrewd, you're being hypocritcal.
In this moment, though, previous measures of competence and the latest foot-in-mouth phrases by the Gold Stardard of the NFL matter little.
