Firing Culley and promoting Lovie to oversee a couple years of the tank would have been fine had these decisions occurred in tandem. He's a far more reputable HC than Culley and it's a clear upgrade (low bar). However, firing Culley, bumble####ing your way through a second consecutive coaching search in as many years and then swerving last second from your final list of candidates to go with someone in-house is a massive L by Caserio and shows how broken their process is. Incredibly disappointing to see this given the positive direction the team has been headed in over the last year.
What's even more sad is that this massive L is still a far, far better situation than they were about to put themselves by willingly becoming the face of racial injustice in the NFL by hiring McCown. My only hope is that they made the decision themselves to move on from McCown and that it didn't have to be McCown himself who saw the incoming storm and made the decision to step back.
