That's your excuse, but i wouldn't call it a different argument and it is certainly not nonsense. Because I would say there's no functional difference between the two. Neither are good enough and both need to be replaced.
Then make that argument instead of pretending like the logical extension of my "keep Garrett until there is an upgrade" argument extends to Wade. It doesn't and I have explained why it doesn't. Saying "Smittys argument could substitute Wade's name for Garrett's" is a misrepresentation of what I'm saying.
And it's more than a little disingenuous.
We you know what you have isn't good enough, you go try to find something better. You don't just wait for it to fall into your lap.
Well if Jerry can conduct that search in private while Garrett remains under contract then fine. But if we fire him the day after the regular season ends and then go looking for who might be available, without knowing who might even be interested, it will end up like Wade or Campo or Gailey all over again.
Jerry has done well when he had an idea who he wanted in advance. He came to the table with Jimmy. And he saw Parcells and went and got him. That's the approach to take in this situation.
Otherwise we'll get another situation where the finalists are Wade and Norv and that is even worse.
