You can maybe say that is an issue with the team, but this is a team built with a bunch of guys that just two years ago could never be counted out of game.

What I was coming in to say. Even if he's still not ruled out as a reasonable option on paper, I feel like the way the season ended necessitates the cutting of ties with Moose unfortunately. Unless he came out with a gangbuster stretch to start the season, I feel that the team's confidence in front of him would be affected by previous events.
