For instance... Phil.

Phil only had a yr and a half to look clueless....this mess we're in was caused by Old Age.


^Fixed

Ummm yea anyone with common sense could see a 38yr old pg with back problem breaking down was inevitable but only jim was clueless enough to not only give said pg 10mill yr but also throw in picks to boot...if you could honestly tell me an executive shouldnt be on the hot seat after going through 3 coaches in 4yrs and establishing the darkest period in franchise history i dont know what else to say to you

The guy should absolutely leave....he's been horrible at almost every turn. Thankfully the league is set up to reward a team with clueless leadership. Win's plummeting year after year, star players taking less to leave, getting nothing for our players, coach after coach, viewership in the toilet....I'd like to hear one thing the guy has done well. Sorry....A coach who MIGHT be good, doesn't count. I remember the last coach coming with quite a bit of 'fanfare'...so whatever to that.

But he's already backtracking....he's got some new bozo system in his head of what contention is. I guess if we have 8 players on our team that he thinks will still be here in 5 years, then he's done his job. I literally dont know what to say to that. Basically, I think it will be on Jeanie to make him step down. I hope she does. The guy has been nothing but awful.
