     @Possiblydrew Clearly it was time. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision, but he was given far more leeway than previous coaches. I’m hopeful this gives a chance to get someone in before the end of 2024 so that next year isn’t another “rebuilding year.”

     @wesley @Possiblydrew it was very much time. Injuries were a thing, but how much of that is training style. I hope he does well, I don't think he's a bad guy, I just don't want him as this teams coach anymore.

     When the first sub happened yesterday, he took Williams out, and the entire stadium knew the game was over.

     Finally getting Williams and gregerson together seemed to solidify a lot, and he took that away

     I was ready to start wearing a paper bag to games

     @jhill I think some of the leeway is justified given the absurd level of injuries and sub-optimal lineups he’s had to deal with[1]. But I totally get the move. And earlier is better than later for exactly that reason: less interim time, maybe salvage some of the season / start next strong

     @Possiblydrew I think it's time. You can't have this many defeats, especially at home.

     Even last season it wasn't like we were playing inspiring football. There was maybe a short period that it looked like things were flowing when we got some new signings but it was short lived.

     I don't think he's a bad coach but maybe not the most experienced as a manager...at least not yet.
