Ronald Curry won’t return to Saints staff (Buffalo Bills hiring Ronald Curry as QB coach)

I think it's also very possible that they did want to keep him. I don't think a face-save is necessary here. Maybe to fans whose negative noses are pressed a bit too close to the team's situation to have any sort of reasonable perspective, but it is completely understandable to anyone else that the whole offensive staff would be reviewed, and stay/go decisions will be made based on the information they're able to gather together. Any time you're dealing with multiple variables (in this case, the main two being "will we get along?" and "is he a fit for what I'm trying to accomplish?") the possibility of "yeah, but" and "no, but" arises. It sounds to me like they had a "yeah, but" here and and were all fine with letting him find his next job while preserving his dignity/their respect for him. Bloodlust for drama doesn't make it real.
