It is almost as if people think organizations just fire guys when things don't go exactly the way they want them to. that is not how you run a business or pro sports team. continuity matters.
How many coaches have been fired this year? Zero. But, after every game around here, people are predicting or asking that we fire our playoff team coach. It is total nonsense and isn't going to happen. Guess what else? the 7 game win streak didn't save his job either. He was here for the entire year, no matter what happened. If this team tanked like the Oilers, maybe he gets let go in the offseason. If another more experienced coach comes along in the offseason the team may look at that.
But he was never even remotely in jeopardy of losing his job in season. I know its fun to play armchair GM, but at least try to do it somewhat realistically.

You know all of this how? Almost like you have info only the GM does.
