Re: Should Maas be fired?
I would argue that you don't fire someone for a single decision. You need to look at the body of work. There are things to be critical of when it comes to Maas, but he did have the team peaking at the right time and they did put up a good fight in the western final.
My answer is no, but reading this forum, I suspect there are many who will disagree with me. Maybe I'm wrong about that. The poll will give clarity.

Because I asked a question as a poll that has been raised in more than one thread already. There are rumours about this issue. I should be banned for asking the question?Originally posted by Hugoagogo View PostIt's long overdue

Re: Should Maas be fired?
It doesn't really matter who started the poll, it's a legitimate question.Originally posted by Moon1 View PostThink it totally inappropriate for a fan from another team, esp Calgary - esp at this time ( couple days after contentious loss to Calgary in Western Final) to be starting a very divisive poll among Edmonton fans.

Re: Should Maas be fired?
On this note, I need to recant my "Chicken Little" comment about JM from the "Who's Going" thread. Usually, I'm the last guy to want a coach to be fired, especially when it's off of one play. But the more I think about it, the more I can understand the folks who are upset.
Maas to me seems like an odd blend of Chris Jones and Kavis Reed. He's like Jones in that his area of specialty is absolutely dominant and a blast to watch; but he's also like Kavis in terms of his stubbornness, misguided loyalty, and his tendency to let his emotion get the better of him and the team in the long run.
Someone brought it up (forget where) that the Esks have either never or rarely alternated wins and losses under Maas; it's almost always some kind of prolonged streak. When the team wins, they never win just one game. And when they lose, they never lose just one game. That has the potential to create a "tortured musician" kind of psyche where the highs are super high and the lows super low, with no middle ground - a dangerous emotional place for any team.
So for right now, I guess I'm kind of ambivalent towards Jason Maas being our head coach. We'll be in for good times if he can harness his emotion and add some level-headedness to his approach. But if he starts trending towards full on Kavis-mode, things could get ugly.Keep an open mind, and you never know who might walk in...

Re: Should Maas be fired?
I vote no, but I do want him to own up to his stupidity and learn to be less stubborn and inflexible as a coach. Maas has done more things right than wrong, and I kind of like his up-yours attitude to the league, they richly deserve it though Maas needs to learn that you don't need to be in a hurry to get to the fight, exhaust other approaches first. The fight will still be there if nothing else works.
I don't care who started the poll and would not ban Childress, it is a legitimate question even in the heat of the moment.

Re: Should Maas be fired?
No he should not be fired. However this is a blot on him and if we see more things like this in the future he should be gone. As a young head coach he has to acknowledge mistakes and become a better coach. His comments about the importance of special teams earlier this year were equally disturbing.

Re: Should Maas be fired?
Maas needs to be humble and learn from this.... its just that simple. Greatness comes with risk and you have to fail at times before you succeed.
As for Chil..... he only shows up when we have been unsuccessful or are struggling as a team and seems to enjoy pointing out our perceived weakness...... I will leave it to the mods but I know how I feel about it..... take "Johnny Hockey" with you............undefined
