I don't know what you're trying to imply, so just say it instead okay?
To me, it says to them that the team is willing to make changes if things aren't going well, especially if you have an entire season below expectations. It depends on what management sees the problem as being. It's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario when it comes to player performance and coaching. It's hard to know where accountability for one begins and one ends. But you know the old saying. It's a lot easier to change one coach than it is to change 20-some players.
