I just saw this on Twitter. That's wild.

At least Davis has the real balls to do what needs to be done - admit his mistake and cut his losses. 
 

This is what the brass balls guy needs to do with Reich and Fit

Balls aren't much good without brains.

Unless Davis goes outside for help, the next GM and coach will still be his pick.

(and probably be lousy...again)

Well, these 2 aren’t it so might as well give it another try

Firing a coach that quickly would make the ownership look insane. Expectations are pretty low for a first year coach and a rookie QB no matter who they are. 
 

I’d rather give Evero a chance at HC than Reich but it’s par for the course to give someone in Reich’s position at least 2 years

INB4 some idiot here says we should hire McDaniels to replace Riech.

I loved the win but I am worried that it will give Reich a longer leash if we still only win 2 or 3 games. 
Fitt needs to be fired regardless of how this season goes.

Never liked or agreed with that approach. If something clearly isn’t working in the real working world you will be fired immediately. 
If we improve and start piling on wins then I will agree that Reich should be given 2 years. But if the wheels start falling off again and it is obvious it isn’t working then keeping him another season is pointless. 
No coach should be guaranteed two year, ever.

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe. 

We won 7 games with f'in Steve Wilks, the much maligned Sam Darnold and PJ Walker last season.

How are expectations now "well it's a first year coach and a rookie QB (that we sold the f'in farm for), so be happy with getting your ass kicked every week"??!?!?!?

We should replace Reich with McDaniels. Cmon Tepper!! GetER Done.

Any bets that Belichick gets fired in NE and McDaniels ends up as HC?

When the day comes that Belichick is no longer on the sidelines in Foxborough you can bet he is going to be allowed to retire gracefully.  He has earned at least that much.

This is what that approach gets you.

Football doesn't work like real world businesses, at least not established ones. It's closer to a start up that you have to get off the ground...repeatedly.

Firing coaches after one or two years and thinking that will make you a winner is pretty much like guaranteeing your wealth and success by buying a lottery ticket.
