Nugent staying yet again

Yeah okay, I see the point. 
I want to get rid of Nugent too, sure, I would be very angry if we went into the next sesaon with him. I'm not so sure if players really think the way you believe they think, though. Don't know if the players' perception changes much if we fire him right now in an already lost season a few weeks early. I feel it's a good enough sign if the Bengals fired Nugent way before the start of free agency. Do - serious question - other teams fire personnel in advance in similar situations?

- The maybe bigger point might be (but what do I know) - if Marvin is indeed gone after the season, it would make some sense to let the new HC deal with the kicker situation - e.g. pick a new kicker.
