funny this topic should show up
I've won 3 of the last 4 superbowls, and have an 88% winning percentage for my career. (The Bengals love the Tech offense)
just playing around, I quit my job and went to the Texans
immediately I began cutting dead weight, figuring I'd have 1 season of rebuilding, then next year have huge caproom to rebuild. Most moves I made actually increased cap room overall, but had big penalties. I got the warning, but ignored it. The last cut I made was Rudi Johnson (whom I had cut from the bengals in year 1), he had a stupid contract. The cut gave me an ~800k cap penalty, but a savings of about 6 million in cap room.
I got fired! I freed up 5.2 million in cap room in one move, and got fired. I couldn't believe it.
Like any orginization in thier right mind would fire a 3 time superbowl winning coach, coming off a superbowl win, with an 88% career winning percentage, for cutting dead weight.
It's a great game, but come on!

If I am not mistaken, the Problem with Cap Penalties is if u cut them before a certain date, it actually counts for the current year and the savings won't count till next year. Yes, I know, odd, but I believe i am correct there.
That's probably why u got the axe but I am not sure. And cutting a lot of players isn't a good idea unless they are second stringers cause u will actually be paying out more if u fill a starter slot with a free agent or potentially a draft pick.
Example: U cut a player who is 78 overall and costs you 880k a year but u go get a FA to fill his spot and the FA maybe 85 or so but costs you 3.5 to 6.5 million a year. U gain a few p[oints but u have to contend with more money lost and u still have to teach the new guy the playbook so he won't be as effective as the 78 guy who already had mastered some/all plays and u cost yourself a chunk of change.
