It's starting to smack of not being able to recognize the cause of your failure. And this is my biggest worry about firing Maurice while Chevy is the guy who will hire his replacement. There is no question that Chevy does some things well. I don't think coach evaluation is one of them, and that is a critical part of the job.
He's hired two bad coaches, he should not get a chance to hire a third. Don't even bring up the speculation that Noel was Chipman's guy. Chevy either agreed with that hiring, or he sold his soul to keep his job. Either way, the stink still comes from his armpits.
Failure this year to me means a three pronged attack is required. GM, coaches and some core players. This team will have to be blown up like the dam on FTWD. Sorry if that's a spoiler but come on. If you haven't watched the season finale by now, you can't really call yourself a fan.
