Simply put, will Garrett survive the season, yes or no?

Think he gets the full season no matter what, even if he shouldn't

I went with yes even though I wish I had enough faith in the FO to vote no. Sucks but it is what it is.

Don’t understand why this is even being asked. Guess I just see football differently than you.

I think firing him med-season does little to help us.
I'd rather fire him midseason and give Richard a chance to turn this thing around. I love his aggressiveness and passion which I'd love to see disseminate through the entire roster. I'm not sure he has the ability to fix the offense but I'd prefer to give him a shot now so that we can decide what to do after the season with regards to a head coach. Maybe Richard shows us something worth considering as a head coaching candidate. And if not oh well, no loss there either.

how to interpret your comment? as support for current regime, or just wanting to wait another 3 months through same old putrid offense and same lame excuses. Ive seen enough already. This is no better than the end of Wades tenure.

That's how we got Garrett. I'd rather wait and completely clean house and, for once, let a new HC pick his entire staff. I know. That's a dream with Jerry's fucked up way of hiring coaches assistants first and all but that's the way to go. Richard is nice but if he has to go too we'll survive.

Yes, unfortunately
I think Jerry's emotional connection to Garrett won't let him can him until the season is over

I also agree that I'm not entirely sure Jones would just fire Garrett.

I could see a ceremonial elevation to a front office role.

I know everyone mocks the culture angle but I actually think that remains a positive point for Garrett. The Wade and Campo circus days are a real thing.

Jerry might value having an advisor of sorts to keep an eye on that to keep certain paradigms in place.

I guess I don't see why we can't do both. Give Richard a chance now and clean house after this season?

I voted yes, for the whole season, only because of how excruciatingly delicious it will be to watch the drama unfold -- how much stress it will put on Jerry, his nervous system as well as his cardiovascular system. One or the other could break under the strain.

He obviously can't be happy with Garrett. It's impossible. But he has so much invested in Garrett. As he watches one gutless, incompetent performance after another unfold, the season will be like watching a relative die a slow death. Jerry will know he has to pull the plug, but can't. It's his loved one, Red Man Walking. The respirations are growing shallower, the pulse fading. Late November, mid-December. Pull the plug! the fans scream.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light, Jerry says. It doesn't get any better than that.
