Quote:You're a softer leader than I'd be. 

 

I think its ALREADY clear regardless, that SOME changes NEED to be made - Babich demoted or replaced is a 100% necessity. Fisch isn't that far behind the 100% to replace/ demote. I know its not exactly a PC decision, but Yarno and his assistant/ this scheme might have to go as well. 

 

If Gus balks at any one of these demands, he goes, end of story. 

 

....and, anything less than 4 wins this season and Gus would be outta here, too. 

 

Right now, I'd still leave it up to Gus to make changes.  I could see him taking play calling ability away from Fisch if he felt that the playcalling needed work.  I could also see him taking over the Defense if Babich wasn't doing well enough.  But that should be up to Gus at this point.  Not Caldwell.


You're right, I'd probably be a softer leader than you.  I hate firing people at my job, and I don't do it often.  But you can't overreact either.  You'd be a lot like the Raiders front office right now.  Firing someone one after another, and hoping that the big name guy will accept your contract at some point.  Andy Reid.  Jim Harbaugh.  


Gus's leash should be dependent on his results at the end of the year.


0 wins - Gus should probably be fired barring some crazy outcome where we keep it close in every game from here on out, but small things set us back.

 

1 or 2 wins - Gus should be on a VERY short leash.  Changes absolutely have to be made at this point.


3 or 4 wins - Gus should be on a short leash.  


5+ wins, and Gus can do what he likes.
