it seems Jeff didn't think it through when he shitcanned Kelly

[Irish George]

Now Kelly needed to go...but I think he pissed Jeff off to the point that walking Kelly to the door was more important than having a succession plan. the "search" is a clusterfuck.

If Kelly would have given up GM to Howie, they both could have been canned after next season. Chump gave Howeenie plausible denial. He was only in charge of laundry.

Kelly created this dumpster fire.

I think they wanted Gase, but after him it was basically "Insert offensive-minded coach who coached under Reid."

Eckel said on Twitter that, if Pederson had said no, the next call was going to be to James Urban, FFS.

its clear he was the first choice. Coughlin was second choice, that is clear to me as well. Hardly a plan.

I don't think they were going to sign

a 70 YO guy...If they wanted Gase why not make him an offer>

[Drama Queen]

He didn't think it through when he gave the GM responsibilities to Kelly, or maybe he did which is worse.

The whole thing reminds me of when Washington hired Jim Zorn after everybody else turned them down. Howie has the Snyder effect.

Lurie had two choices. Give him total control or watch him walk.

Don't pretend you would have had the stones for the second choice.
