@bob806 said: I understand all that, DePo was in on that as well.  My point is AB will have more say-so on the hire, unlike last time.  It's speculation & draft talk season, again.  FWIW, Stefanski was hired before Berry was in the same year.  It was the 2nd time he became DePodesta's #1 candidate and he got his way.   I've been reluctant to jump on the bandwagon to fire the HC; but there's a lot of confusion during the games with the Offense and Special Teams.  When the offense takes the field - they should have the play, break the huddle and be at the line of scrimmage before there's only 4 seconds to get the snap off.  Special Teams is a disaster.  Stefanski was hired as a HC meaning all 3 phases (and he never has to do a thing for the Defense when we think about it).  It's been a fail until it's stale story for 2 straight years. Time for a change AGAIN.  Now we have to hope for 2 things: 1) a decent candidate interested in working for Jimmy; 2) Jimmy uses better hiring criteria than he's used all the other times... When you really think about it - we become a support group every year we're obviously missing the playoffs.  More specifically, we've had a lot of practice - in a world where practice makes perfect.
