Finally!

49ers fire Nolan. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Some may worry about the midseason abruptness of the move. But Nolan has sucked for a long time and way overstayed his welcome. Sometimes it's better to get of the bad wood and let the chips fall as they may. In this case, I agree with the move.

Incidentally, for a similar reason, I was in favor of deposing Saddam Hussein.
