Clearly he's not going to fire himself. But It's crazy to go out and fire most of the coaches and not one single FO member is held accountable like they had 0 to do with it. Clearly accountability is not everywhere, but it is in most thriving or successful businesses. You don't perform, you're gone.
He won't fire himself, his daughter, or his son in law. Duke Tobin is the top non family member, so should he be canned? Jim Lippincott has been gone since '11. They've added a few more scouts and have had some retire, but they also rely heavily on the coaching staff for scouting. When coaches bang their fists on the table for guys who turn out to be busts, they get canned.
I have never been in a job or career where everyone was held accountable. There have always been the wives/husbands/kids/friends of managers/owners who pretty much did what they wanted, when they wanted without repercussion. I've never seen a salesperson get fired, because companies are always scared to death that they will take the customers who they've built relationships with to competitors.
