I’ve been on the “It’s a bad idea to fire coaches midseason” side-- but good grief, you can’t NOT fire a head coach after they lose to the worst team in the league after losing the six games before that.
Agreed. I don't like firing coaches mid-season but the DA situation seemed bad enough that you had to do it now. And with all the stuff now coming out about lack of mandatory warm-ups, putting Miller on IR when he is healthy a week later, defensive players complaining about lack of aggression, and Rizzi immediately replacing Grantham with Young as the DL coach, it's clear they could not go forward with DA. Change had to be made now and who knows how many other issues will come to light or we may never find out about.
I think in the end Loomis finally realized that after talking to Benson, Lauscha, and hearing the feedback the players gave to Benson. Loomis should have been the one finding these things out, but I think he was just dead set on not firing a coach mid-season.
