You know, in my relief over Shawn Watson’s dismissal, I forgot to mention one other aspect of the firing. The timing.
In prior years, when staff has turned over, it hasn’t been filled quickly and/or the change happened later.
Obviously with the early signing period, these days that alleviates some of that. Yet, that didn’t seem to matter last year when changes were made to the coaching staff. They came later in the cycle and took a while to fill.
