Joe is getting every opportunity to turn it around. Every opportunity.
In a way, this is a good thing. It is a signal to all prospective head coaching candidates that Steve Ross is going to be patient and give them a chance to get the job done. It also signals that Steve has learned how to play the game and will hopefully be avoiding future blunders like trying to hire a coach while he already had one in place -- and then asking that prospective coach if he'd like to keep the current guy on as the OL coach.
I guess the question is whether or not you think there is someone we could promote from within the staff who would do a better job than Joe and get this team into the playoffs. My answer is simply that I think Ross should be looking at that as of this moment. If you think that promoting a guy like Kacy Rodgers or Darren Rizzi or Bill Lazor would give you something that you're not getting with Joe Philbin, maybe it's time to do it. IMO the blunders in the 4th quarter vs the Packers gave Ross a license to do just that, with the entire nation questioning just what the heck he was doing there.
