I really don't understand blaming the media for the "overreaction" by the fans. Some fans have overreacted, but some of this is brought on by ownership.

Ownership came out and told us that Joe Gibbs built this team and that they felt that continuity was going to be a key for the Skins. Not true. Not only do they let go our two main coordinators, they proceed to install a different kind of offense. Not only that they proceed to do this w/ out a coach.

Secondly, they pull a hc condidate from the ashes from a NFC east foe. As word leaks that he's going to be named HC (I'm assuming the media had good sources since it was multiple outlets reporting this), fans/media revolts. They rethink their decision.

So, i do think that some fans tend to overreact. However, 75% of the blame needs to be heaped on DS/VC for this process. It's not over so maybe it will turn out ok, but the process itself has not really impressed me.
