The gist was there are issues throughout the organization and everything was going to go under investigation.

He did say Eakins was his guy and now he is fired. Right move? Yes. Right timing and follow up hiring/interim coach? Not likely.

But to say he claimed everything was fine and nothing would change is just wrong.
But they were visually better!!

What part of: "I wont root out the core because it doesnt need to be rooted out, it needs to grow together" doesnt scream "NO CHANGES" to you?

Again, paraphrasing, obviously. Sure, he didnt say 'everything is okay' because he knew he'd be slaughtered for uttering those words so he muttered some other nonsense about being visually better, but he was pretty clear that no changes were coming.

Then they won a game and things were great.

Then they lost a few more and even after MacT's bumbling presser he couldnt hold the crapship together and Eakins had to take his big bite of crap sandwich.
