You can help end Teamlessness
Hi. I’m Dave Rappoccio. Every year, after the regular season ends, coaches are let go, sacked, fired, and run out of town. It’s tragic. These are real people, who have put real hours (usually for multiple years) into this work, and because they do not get their team to the top, they are hated, ridiculed, mocked, and then let go. They have to uproot their families, leave their friends, and set out on the road in hopes that another team will take a chance. For many of these coaches, those chances come too late.
You can help.
These coaches need a home. They need a team to coordinate, to coach, to manage. They need players to love. The difference you can make when you cheer a hiring can mean all the difference in the world. A small donation of buying team gear can help your team support itself, even when it really doesn’t need the money. These coaches deserve better. They deserve love and loyalty. They deserve a opportunity to reclaim what they had. They deserve a second chance. Except Greg Schiano, what an asshole.
Just look at these sad faces. Just think of the defensive coordination they can add to your life. The playcalling. The time management and ability to not let the locker room go like the last bum who totally deserved to get canned because they didn’t meet your personal expectations.
Stop teamlessness. Stop Unemployment. We can’t win Super Bowls without you.
Happy new year everybody.
Sad face, Brown and Orange T-shirt, that was all I could see when I opened the page, I thought it was time for some more factory of sadness!
Doug Marrone can come coach the London Monarchs when Jacksonville relocates. He used to play for them after all.

I still say Mike Smith shouldn’t have been fired. He inherited the mess of Vick and Petrino and turned it into a winner in under a year. It’s only been two years since he was one crappy Matt Ryan pass from a superbowl trip. He had two terrible years, but he deserved one more year.
Well, as a Falcon fan I found myself agreeing with people who put the blame more on Dimitroff, thatn Smith (I mean, he just never even bothered to address the linebacker issues of the team, for example). But. Smith did screw up clock management multiple times, which cost the team games. This wouldn’t neccessarily be a reason to fire a coach, but the reasoning Arthur Blank gave for his decision is something I have also thought for a long time.
Things were getting stale, and the “next year” mentality helped to not put the blame on anybody on or around the team. I think players, even veterans will want to prove their worth for a new head coach more than for Smith, which might just help get the best out of these guys, and whoever joins the team until next season. Smith wasn’t the wrong man for the job, but the Falcons just need change. Sorry for the long post, and possible language errors, I’m not a native speaker.
I suppose I can understand the logic then, even if I’m not fond of it. At least he should have a job soon. And don’t worry about your English mate, everything looks right to me!
That is such an excellent way of putting it. That being said I will be really sad if we (the falcons) hire Rex Ryan to be our next coach. maybe as defensive coordinator but please not head coach.
Smith should’ve been fired after the Jets game in 2013.
Happy New Year, Dave. I’m just glad no Browns coaches were eligible for this comic!
I can’t fap to this…
What the hell
Obviously the Sexy Rexy photo was too small.
i can.
I’ve read all of these, so I speak with (no) authority when I say you’ve topped yourself sir. Best Comic Ever.
Given the height of Rex Ryan (6’4″), this would make this universe’s Sarah McLachlan roughly twice that size, if not more. So we’re looking at a 13-15 foot tall woman.
I CAN fap to this.
