I agree with your assessment that the jab was misplaced. He finished above .500 in his one year as head coach of the Jets. Al Groh is a solid football guy. Not every solid football guy ends up being a great head coach, but from everything I've ever read about Al Groh he seems to be a decent, straightforward guy. Think "Glen Mason times three" without the over-sized ego. Groh won't be out of work long.
