I wonder where we would have been if we had a competent OL, we sure as shit win at least one of those close games.
Tobin has to go though if he’s booted out the door I really will believe that the old man wants success before he dies.
Here's the problem with giving Zac "one" more year. No great DC is going to come here if the HC is already on the hot seat. He'd have to leave where he's at, pack up and move his family here potentially just for 1 year because if the HC is on the hot seat, that means there might be a new HC next year and that HC might not want that DC meaning he'd have to pack up and move his family again. Even if you tell the great DC that he's next in line for HC if the current HC is fired, that's already poisoning the well and there's no way for them to work well together knowing that he's already got one foot out the door and the other foot going out the door is the DC's ticket to being a HC.
That goes double with firing Tobin. If you hire a new GM, you need a new HC because otherwise you're potentially giving your GM 2 different HCs in 2 years (and 3 different DCs in 3 years) and there's no good way to scout, draft, and sign players like that.
Either Zac is your guy for 2026 no matter what happens in 2025 (obviously barring some real absurd shit like going full Urban Meyer, or killing someone, or something) so you should keep him, or you should move on right now and find someone you ARE willing to commit to for an absolute minimum of 2 but preferably 3 years.
