I understand this philosophy and it all sounds great.....but in reality?
Whilst giving the coach everything they want and the team continues to spiral, what exactly do you gain by keeping them on the entire season?
I don't think the HC prospects out there are saying "OMG the Saints firing DA (after nearly 3 years of.....nothingness) midseason was just horrible, they should have waited until the end of the season, I'll never coach there!!!!!"
It's more situational, and this rigid type of operating, with no consideration for the damage to the team, fanbase, etc is a recipe for disaster.....
What happens in these cases is a complete and total disregard for the fans, the folks that support the team, there are 2 sides to this equation and IMO this side rarely gets mentioned......Another thank you to Gayle for doing the right thing....Loomis should not be making decisions going forward IMO.....
