Nick Underhill: Players organizing a Players-Only Meeting
Good stuff.
For what its worth, Gayle fired Stan Van Gundy after 1 season because Griff told her it was the right/necessary thing to do. So we know she's not completely allergic to canning someone quickly if its not working. But obviously nobody on the football side is telling her to fire DA just yet. She may get there on her own soon enough.
Idk, just above, a poster talked with her today and that doesn't seem to jive with your comment. And as others have said, she/management have fired coaches before. And clearly she's well aware fans aren't happy right now. Maybe she'd rather just wait til the end of the season because there's no point right now. At least some have made that case.
Fwiw, I'd rather they fire Allen now, but I can understand waiting until late in the season or after the end of the season to do it.
Personally I get the impression they all know its not working out with DA, but as with Carmichael, they're not going to let him go until the end of the year. People point to Carmichael's "hot streak" to finish last season and they still fired him.
And truthfully if they fire DA now, can we really believe any of the guys on the current staff can get the job done as an interim HC to win 7-8 games (out of 9) and have a chance at the playoffs?
Rizzi's ST unit is making the most baffling decisions on returning kicks. He can't get his kick/punt returners to use their brain, but now he'll get a whole locker room to dial in?
Kubiak's offense has completely fallen apart. Neither he or anyone else on the offensive staff has shown themselves to be worthy of a shot as an interim.
Every level of the defense is getting killed. I trust those coaches to run a team as much as I'd trust Wile E. Coyote with a stick of dynamite.
I can't see this team being sorry enough to lose to Carolina, but if they do, that's the breakpoint. At minimum we'd see scapegoat firings start, things still not improve, followed by DA being let go a week after Black Monday.
I think it will be just like Carmichael. The people in charge know its over, but the personal friendships and respect they have with the coach means we fans will just have to deal with it for the rest of the season.
