Doug has repeatedly said Trevor needs to play better and has thrown him under the bus multiple times. The also did nothing last year and went with Fortner and Bartch, so it's pretty clear they felt very comfortable with those 2 out there and if they just threw then out there knowing they suck then that's a firing offense. 

The media even knew more about this oline than our own team, had them the 31st ranked oline before the season and they finished as the 31st ranked oline. Most fans also knew the oline sucked yet the staff and front office was perfectly fine with it.  Passed on some really good olineman for bums.  Everyone knew there was no pass rush behind the starters except this staff and front office.   Had multiple opportunities to add a vet and didn't

No, going with Fortner and Bartch is not a firing offense.  It's a mistake.   If you are their supervisor, which of course Khan is, then you have a meeting with them, ask them why they thought they could go with those two guys, why were they wrong, and what are they going to do about it.  But no, you don't clean house after having the first back-to-back winning seasons in 18 years.
