You cut Nugent on principle. He has lost the team games and deflated the team countless times this year. The off-season has essentially already started and you have to at least give the illusion you care if you want others to car.
I completely get what you are saying, but think if you wanted to show that mediocrity is not acceptable, you would have sent him packing weeks ago when there was still something at stake. Or last year, or the year before. Changing kickers now is not going to change perception about this franchise. At least not in my opinion.
