Quote:When Gus was fired is completely irrelevant to this process.  The team isn't hiring a permanent replacement in December.  All Hughes offers is another tool in the toolbox to be used to identify the best fits for this organization, and present that to Caldwell.  I'm honestly not sure why having well-informed input in making a huge decision like this is somehow a bad thing, but you've certainly tried to spin it that way.

Khan also was not sure what he had in Marrone. I will also say this.  If Marrone does the same thing next week.  That would be shutting down not only 2 rivals. But two Playoff chances teams.  So a double spoiler.   

 

And if Dave was to hire someone else and the new HC does not produce the same results.  Dave will be fired by seasons end as well.
