Quote:The obvious empty seats on the first cool day last Sunday will open Khans eyes. Even more empty ones on the nationally televised one will even more...but...as someone mentioned..what will it do? Win an extra game? Lose next week and theyre playing for the next draft pick.

Maybe, just maybe a message could be sent to some of the slackers like Clemons. Cut his [BAD WORD REMOVED] and tell the team their jobs are on the line as well.

 

Maybe the Marrone hiring was not incidental, but insurance in case the team imploded...again. 

 

Then we can also have a Del Rio / Mel Tucker scenerio. That worked out so well.

 

The easy part is starting Fire Gus discussions. Tough part is..then what?  Marrone has character questions; is he the answer? Would he just be in for this year? Would he stick around if he wasnt around for the next year? Who would be available next year? Would they take the job? Are Caldwell and Khan even having that discussion?

 

That's the problem.   If you tear this roster down to nothing and basically start from scratch, like we did, and then you give the head coach less than 3 years to turn things around, how much time to you give the next guy?   2 years?    Who's going to sign on for that, knowing the track record we have of firing guys?   Mularkey, 1 year?   Bradley, 2 years and 6 games?   What are we, the Oakland Raiders? 

 

Personally, I think Bradley is done and will not be here next year.   But I can see some benefit to giving him to the end of the year.
