Quote:To paraphrase:


"Gus would never consider hiring someone like Schwartz because he could potentially replace him mid season"


What's even more hilarious about this statement is that Schwartz was a below average head coach during his tenure with Detroit and he had Pro Bowl talent on his roster. He's a good defensive coach but the Peter principle is applicable to him.

If this is really how anyone in FO or coaching staff thought i would hope they would be fired on the spot. if this was the case, we may as well have hired mularky and rob ryan.

 

i was one who considered the morone hire in this way and was crucified on the board when i called him a possible "contingency" for another 0-8 start from gus. but i also believed at the time DC was more incharge of this hire which he apparently was not. gus may be over zealous which rubs people the wrong way if we are in the midst of a losing season, but i've never had a doubt his loyalty and dedication to making this team better has always been there whether i agreed with his decisions or not.
