Woody's Mailbag: McDaniels losing his supporters - The Denver Post
Hi, Woody! I enjoyed reading your column on Sunday ("Faith no more for all involved") about Spygate II. I am just old enough to remember the Watergate scandal, and your comparisons were right on the nose. I also love your mailbag (congrats on 100, BTW), and in last week's edition, you wrote: "the total truth is Josh McDaniels has another season in Denver, and there's nothing you, I or anybody else can say that will get Josh fired." How quickly things change! Here's my question: Is there anything Josh McDaniels can do to save his job at the end of this season? I have supported him since he has been here, but after the videotaping story broke, I think it's time to start fresh. Winning and losing is one thing; cheating is on a whole different level. As long as he is here, that stigma will hang over our team.
