I think Atkins should go. I’d venture to guess Schneider felt internal pressure of “what would Atkins want” if there’s that culture around the team. Glass half full but perhaps Atkins and crew can train him on statistics and how to use it and when to throw out the playbook. It was kind of scummy to throw Schneider under the bus as a leader, which will not play out well with regards to himself. However he did stand behind him saying he’ll be back so perhaps his message didn’t come out how he wanted to and he personally would like a redo.
Anyway, if they keep Atkins, which I hope they don’t, all we can hope is Rogers gives him money to correct his mess ups. Because there’s a ton of work to do. Perhaps more than ever in any one offseason.
