Yes, horrible title.

  1. If Flus is fired in season, I would expect it to be week 13, the bye week. That's plenty of time to say he had a fair shot, and also plenty of time to be able to openly start searching for a new HC.

  2. And this is more to the point: Is Sweat really the type of player Flus is looking for? Based on a few podcasts I listen to, Flus has never been real big on really truly going after the QB. More of a "pressure him and hope he fucks up or something".

With that in mind, does Sweat sound like a player Poles is going to spend a 2^nd rounder knowing he'll need to get a serious payday soon if he doesn't think the HC is going to take full advantage? Or does he sound like a player that will make this a more attractive team for the next HC who he knows is coming soon?

Just thoughts. Could be wrong.

If the organization under Warren wanted to make a definitive statement that things have turned a corner, they would absolutely fire Flus in season. It would show that basement bottom performance from our coaches won't be tolerated. History would certainly indicate that's unlikely to happen and it will occur after the season ends, but I do agree that they should do it during the bye.

As far as Sweat goes, I think Flus at this point knows he's on his way out and would likely welcome anybody who might help salvage some sense of the defense working.
