We had a playoff team that was genuinely good and we destroyed it in record time. Now we have to make the long journey again and I can't fault the locals for getting fed up paying to watch this year after year. 

The last 5 weeks have been rough and it seems we aren't moving forwards right now but I like Doug and think he can definitely improve us. Is he the guy to take us all the way? I hope so but he may be the guy that rights the ship. I just don't know who's out there HC wise that can fix this quickly. 

We need no miss drafts and FA pickups for the roster which the FO hasn't been good at.

You don't fix this quickly, all this emotive nonsense in the fan base is the failure to recognize that simple fact.

I agree. It's definitely a process. The complication in this specific instance is the "generational QB" playing on a team that has seemingly been regressing weekly after the absolute disaster of perhaps the worst HC hire in NFL history last season.

We may disagree with getting rid of Doug, in principle, but I wonder if the instant emotional response from the fanbase to news that the team is keeping him and running this season back will cause more of an uproar than the potential gains the team may make in keeping Doug and gaining continuity.

Its an interesting philosophical debate stretching past the field. Of course, it's a debate I'd much rather we not have to entertain. But I don't think these types of issues pop up all that often in the NFL, so at least its an interesting discussion? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
