I mean, not really surprising, as keeping Ward, IMO, was a bit of a reach.

I thought they would at least interview people (and they may have, but certainly nothing leaked to the press about any other coaches being interviewed) in the off season.

Darryl will be interesting. He's been out of coaching for a while now, so I am not sure how he will do...but the team needed a shake up, through a trade or firing.

So we'll see how they respond...at some point just firing the coach isn't sufficient. Brad Trelving, who owns all of these coaches, needs a hard look as well as every single player on this roster...
