I am in agreement. In looking at his previous positions, He was demoted twice I think? Methinks there was a reason. Also, the "meathead" moniker may have been well earned.

Tice was demoted twice? I didn't know that. I knew that he was the head coach of the Vikings in the early-mid 2000s and was around during the "Love Boat" scandal, which ultimately led to his firing. But how was he demoted? Did the Vikings keep him on and he was demoted? I know he went to Jacksonville and coached OL for a few years.
He went from HC to ASST HC
Then he went from ASST HC to TE Coach
Mike Tice's Coaching Career
Years Role Place 1978-80 Quarterback Maryland 1981-93, '95 Tight end 3 NFL teams 1996 Tight ends coach Vikings 1997-2001 Off. line/Asst. head coach Vikings 2002-05 Head coach Vikings 2006 Asst. head coach Jaguars 2007-09 Tight ends coach Jaguars 2010-11 Off. line coach Bears 2012 Off. coordinator Bears
He did such a great job improving the bears OL that we gave him the OC job.
Well, at least the Jaguars had the right idea for once in that franchise's pathetic existence.
He's a moron so what did people think he would say.
I believe Tice is in a win-win situation for him personally. If the line succeeds w/o virtually any upgrade he appears as a genius and is courted by the league. If it tanks he was in a lame-duck coaching situation and with a new GM that "didn't get all the tools he needed".
Color me wrong but that's the only way I can interpret all the craziness.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

I don't wish to get all philosophical but winning is a very relative term. Winning, losing, tying, keeping score is all meaningless unless there is something to be learned from it. Be it character, problem solving, fortitude, tenacity, etc. There is an infinite sea of winners, losers, etc who gain nothing other than the mechanical aspect of competing and the perks it may offer. Many gain nothing from the experience, a few no matter record or score are shaped by it profoundly.
I work w/kids who are completely obsessed with winning and forgetting to build anything from a win. I tell them "ok you win the next ten" then they start to think more relatively rather than absolutes.

There's a very simple explanation in my head that I take with me wherever I go when I have to compete at something, whether it be academics or sports. Winning is all about building moral fiber, and just as important, it's about the survival of the fittest. It's very Darwinian in nature to want to win. You win because you want to live to evolve into something greater than what you, at the time of the competition, are already, ergo the part about moral fiber. If you're not evolving constantly, then you're not going to be as fit as you possibly can be with the rest of your life.
I used to tell my Scholars' Bowl students that winning is fun, and that they should try to win at all cost. That being said, I also said that if you don't try to win, the end result is a lot of misery because you're looking up at the winners and wondering, "What could have been?" Losing is not a bad thing, for it builds humility, but rolling over and playing the part of the patsy is just foolish and, in my book, intolerable. If you're going to lose, lose with pride in the knowledge that you did your best to win at the competition.
