Herb Kohl 2.0 (Settling for sorta adequate)
Agree he should be gone either way. It's not a Kohl situation though. Low seeds have a legit shot at a title in the NFL. Steelers in 2005 (6), Giants in 2007 (5), Packers in 2010 (6), Tampa 2 years ago (5). But yeah, if we manage to sneak in this year it should not validate bringing Barry back. Although I think he will be back either way.
For me, the Kohl comparison, is LaFleur settling for the known mediocrity that is Barry, which smacks of Kohl-esque cronyism, rather than risk shooting for someone potentially better. It took the endless disasters of the previous years ST's, before they ponied up for Biassacia. The ST's and Biassacias roster management have had their ups and downs this season, but on the whole - especially the post-Amari games - has been pretty respectable.
Thank Barry and give him a one-way ticket to Maui after the last game. Hire Leohnard and he hires his own guys.
