If we reset it needs to be a hard reset no hold overs from this losing culture, every time we fire a coach we keep some people who have been collecting checks for garbage work.

The message to the players needs to be the same of you're not here to win then there's the door.

If the stink were universal, I'd say yes. There has been talk that Charlie Strong could serve as interim if anything rash were done. If that happened as a long-term hire, chances are he'd give Cullen a chance to continue what he's started. Any other coach? They're going to bring their guys in, maybe Cullen and Strong get interviews, maybe they don't.

It's not as simple as getting rid of the head, and keeping an assistant. otherwise, you end up with the same conundrum we had in searching for a GM - we had the coach in place, the GM would only get to bring in scouts and hang their entire accountability on whether they trusted the coach's ability to work with what they bring in (or be subject to that coach's authority for roster building). If you start the search by forcing the new HC's hand with a DC in place, that's going to limit the pool from which you select your next head guy, unfortunately.

I call baloney. I watched that entire game and felt awful.
