I voted yes, but I'll probably be voting yes until the earth breaks off its axis. I think Robert Saleh should have been retained until the last game of the regular season (not that it mattered). The reason I say that is the optics of Woody Johnson going, "I'm putting my foot down!" made it all look worse.
I still have to chuckle every time I see this thread title…I don’t think it’s Woody FINALLY blew it up at all…I think that’s ALL we ever do…like fucking clockwork. Every three to four to five years we’re looking for a new HC and/or a new GM and trading away pieces so we can finally “build through the draft”. That’s all we ever do. Why? Because Woody keeps making the wrong decisions. Every time. He hires bad coaches. He hires bad GMs. He knows nothing about how to build a successful team…as decades of losing and the longest playoff drought in North American sports can attest to. So I have no issue with blowing it up when it doesn’t work. I don’t at all buy into the “we need stability” mentality that we hear once in a while that goes something like “well, if you keep hiring new coaches and implementing new schemes and such, you’ll never do well because you need consistency”…and that points to franchises like the Steelers and Ravens who are indeed very consistent. However, they mistake the cause for the effect. They are consistent because Cowher and Tomlin and Harbaugh are good coaches, and their front offices both know what they are doing. So the cause is the people in the roles, and the effect is the consistency. Not the other way around. We could have given Gase 10 years and Mac 10 years … they would NEVER become great. So yah, let’s blow it up again and admit Woody fucked up again, and this time, let’s hope that miraculously the hiring of yet another first time DC to be HC and another “up and coming” front office guy to be GM actually works this time…
