Farewell Dr. Jen

[Mitch]

You are an inspiration, coach Jen! I was hoping like crazy there would be a way for BA and the staff to keep you. That said, I wish you the best and hope that one day you will be on the Cardinals' staff full-time.

I was really hoping she'd stay with the Birdgang. It was awesome having her with us.

Something tells me she's going to be a success wherever she lands. Go get 'em Dr. J!

There go those Cheap Bidwills again! Not paying for a good coach!

I am so very pleased to see our defense applying her wrap up techniques when tackling the opponents this year. I thought that the Denver game was the epitome of pure form wrap ups as the defense went about its business Thursday night. That is a direct tribute to her abilities, and is a much needed improvement over the blind hit attempts made so often in the past. It was specifically what she was brought in to teach and apply. It is also a testament to her success when dealing with NFL types, and the obvious respect they had for her as a coach and mentor. I too, hope that she is somehow able to return to this staff in a permanent position, but barring that, I wish her the greatest success in wherever she ends up going. I am confident that she will be a successful coach wherever she goes, and I hope that is in the NFL.

How are you so sure that Larry Foote and Levon Kirkland didnt have anything to do with better tackling?

She will land somewhere for sure. Glad she had the chance to get the experience with the Cards. Wish her the best!

For one thing, when she was first brought on board, the articles on the official site concerning her hiring noted that one of her specific duties was to be able to work on getting our players to become more focused on form, wrap-up tackling. Foote and Kirkland were both here prior to her coming aboard, yet we were still a poor tackling team last year. I am not saying that they did not contribute to the improvement shown this year, as that is what they should have been doing. What I am saying is that wrap-up tackling was made one of her specific tasks to be responsible for during her trial period here. She seems to have done that to everyone's satisfaction.

Seems like a bunch of players really took to her coaching and input. She was helping coach the LBing group, no?

Really disappointing to hear that Dr. Jen accepted an invite from Money Mayweather to sit ringside at his upcoming fight. He apparently then asked if she would be willing to walk into the ring with him and he reportedly said yes.

As a woman who seemed to be about championing the cause for strong, independent women, aligning herself with a serial woman abuser is just flat-out wrong.
It would be one thing if she was meeting one on one with Mayweather in an effort to hear him out and perhaps help him with his demons. But man... to accept his thinly-vailed gestures? Seriously Dr. Jen?? What a mistake...

I think it sends the wrong message as well. Here is a link to a USA Today article.
