Hey L, as you know, in any business, people who say "yes" and toe the company line, always survive, because it is hard to fire someone like that why? Human emotion, also ego plays a part, hearing an employee saying "yes sir yes sir nine bags full" really appeals to managers and owners. Remember how Gase got fired, he blew up on Ross, if that would not have happened, he would have been around longer, thus prolonging the fans agony. Flores was kind of obvious, he saw Tua for Tua, and did not want to continue with him, but of course "Grier". I have no doubt there were some very vocal discussions about this, and poof Flores gone.
My big concern, throwing the minutiae out, Oct 1 '23 48-20 loss against the Bills, Oct 22 '23 31-17 loss against eagles, Nov 5 '23 21-14 against the Chiefs, on a neutral field. Dec 11 '23 28-27 Home loss Titans. With all of the "talent" this team has, blow outs should never happen, and close game against near peers at home and at neutral sites should not be losses.
This team shows a huge amount if inconsistency and lack of depth to sustain injuries. I think we will see Grier and Mikey for at least two more years, maybe three. Sputtered, Floundered, Foundered on a sea of mistakes and miscues, all of these are true.
Frankly, Tua, Armstead, Williams (out of position player), T Hill, Fangio, Wilkins leaving, all are on Griers doorstep, but, there still is a "possibility" that it works, notice I say "possibility" and not probability. In Football, a lot of things are possible, look at Joe Flacco.

We’re on the same page here. That’s also a huge concern for me, and does not bode well going forward.
Anything in sports is possible of course, but so long as Chris Grier is the architect of major decisions - it’s difficult maintaining a bright outlook. I hope that I’m wrong.
