That isn't self evident at all.
Nothing is apparent, but when you have veteran leaders on your team saying that they want to keep their coach, the owner will listen. It's not like Jay Fiedler going out there and lobbying for him, JT has nothing to gain by speaking up for Wanny.
I truely don't think we'll be a legitimate contender next year anyway. What I AM scared about, is having Dave at the helm of htis years draft and flopping AGAIN. It is soooo deep in QB talent. We have 3 QB's coming up in the draft that could go #1 in any other year, along with others whtat would be high on the draft list others years that get bumped down because of this. It's VERY deep, and getting a QB this year would come relatively cheap compared to other years. We won't need to give 5 picks away for a #1 QB.
I can tolerate Jay another year I think, as LONG AS WE DRAFT A legitimate Rookie, and leave it open to him coming in towards the end of the season. Jay is a caretaker, I've always seen him in this role. Problem is he hasn't been a caretaker, he's been our #1 man...which he shouldn't be. But if we have a young rookie, and Jay's at the right price, I will accept him as a caretaker.
As for wanny.......I like the guy, he's a nice guy, but a bad coach. I wonder if JT and ZT will fold on another coach if wanny leaves...we can't have that either. Any way you look at it, next years going to be dicey. Either we'll have the same old but HOPEFULY have a few young guns from the draft, or we'll have a completely new coaching staff.
Neither are a good recipe for Super Bowl contention.
