Funny how the 'flavor of the week' changes, or peoples opinions vary so drastically. We continue to talk ourselves into and out of coaches for one reason or another. Everyone bemoaning a potential Marrone hire, until Steele was hired yesterday, now that's worse. All while reminiscing how Deboard put up better numbers than Chaney, even though we were sure he was a horrible hire at the time. It's crazy really.
I won't pretend that the level we've fallen to is acceptable, but to say with certainty that anyone on our personal 'short list' of coaching candidates would guarantee a turnaround is not realistic. I will say, I'm encouraged that moves are being made and it appears a plan is falling into place. Maybe a run at a revamped staff with Pruitt as CEO is the plan? Haven't we been begging for that to be the case for the past two seasons? If a move is made, maybe pieces are being put in play for a Chadwell type coach? Maybe Phil is assembling his coaching staff so he can take back the reigns (making him the 7th current coach on the sidelines with a ring)? Truth is noone really knows. What is apparent is that the mob mentality is in full force as we bounce from coaching option to option. I hope is over soon as well, and once the dust has settled, it'll allow for us to begin to evaluate our thoughts on the decisions made.
