When a popular or successful coach is fired, or a popular player is cut or traded, it may seem like a good front office decision and at times it winds up being just that. But fans get irate and sometimes turn on the front office management, and at times the players voice their displeasure, creating a contentious locker room environment. Being from Philly I can think of a prime example that jumps off the page. Brian Dawkins. Weapon X was the heart and soul of the Eagles defense, and in 2008 when you go back and look at the season it was players like him that snapped us out of a funk that damn near cost us the season. Now yes, Dawkins was getting long in the tooth (I mean, he did debut in 1997) but the man was still productive, and he was supposed to retire wearing the green. Evidently Howie Roseman didn't think so, and traded him to Denver. BAD MOVE! When lowly employees are blogging and telling you how much you fucked up, it's usually a tell-tale sign that you've made a highly unpopular decision. I've got several more examples that I'm sure someone will bring up later but I'm short on time right now as I type this. Ugh, FUCK 12 hour shifts at Gilster Mary Lee!!!
