I think they may weight the optics heavily of firing a coach after one season, but when your 500+ million dollar franchise and 70 million in player payroll is successful based on one position, you have to at least consider your options when one the best candidates in a long time becomes available.
There are recruiters who spend a lot of time, money and resources trying to obtain the best talents. I see how this is no different
