I seem to recall Underhill mentioning that it was a touchy situation but as long as it was just as a consultant the players could live with it. And a guy coming in as a consultant is a lot different than him being your HC. And you never know how many players weren't going to make waves when they were already on the team but might choose not to sign here if he was HC.
And I'm not just talking about players on our team now. You don't want a HC where there is any percentage of players who would not play for him because they think he could be a racist.
And there is no point in taking that chance when he's proven to be at best a mediocre coach since coming back in 2018. If he was the NFL version of Nick Saban maybe it's worth taking the chance, but he's not that guy. Not anymore.
I think there are just multiple better options than him and even keeping Rizzi as HC would be better. But I do want them to clean house and start over with some young new minds.
