Why should any of our players, especially one’s that have had a lot of success (AJ, Dunlap, Geno) have any respect for the likes of Zac Taylor, Lou Anarumo, and Jim Turner? The most successful of the 3 is Taylor, and that was as a damn QB coach for one year. BFD.
Plus, when things go bad, which they obviously have even before the Burrow injury, the knives are going to be out for said coach in short order. There will be a line of players who perceive these guys as assholes and incompetents to kick them while they are down. This wouldn't fly on a winning team, but under the current circumstances, fans will almost assuredly side with the players.
If it gets bad enough and enough players truly view the coaches this way, they can absolutely facilitate a situation where ownership has almost no choice but to fire them. You can ship Carlos out, but you can't jettison the entire team if they turn on the staff.
