I was just pointing that Mike Brown has kept losing coaches on for far too long in the past and that damages the team more than if he were to just cut them loose.

When they got him they knew he was super inexperienced but the feeling was that if he was good the only opportunity to hire someone like that was to hire them early.
He's certainly made mistakes - I expect there is plenty he'd change about his coaching staff if he had another opportunity. This off-season provides an opportunity for him to learn and rectify and will tell a lot about his long term prospects. I expect him to give up play-calling responsibilities and to appoint a new D coordinator before next season, although the latter may be easier said than done unless the Front Office commits to spending big in Free Agency.
At 0-9 and yet another blow out loss, the team regressing as a whole across the boards (save for special teams), it's the coaching staff he chose and it was not forced on him like Marvin's was, is he learning anything at all other than how not to be successful. Look at all the guys who turned down the DC job. They saw this was a mess.
Do we want to just get by? Or is there a championship in mind?
If he isn't any good an play calling, doesn't seem to know a thing about defense, has assemble a coaching staff of his buddies, what exactly qualifies him to stay on as HC. Is there even one thing that he's gotten right?
He sees the team as improving, yet all I see are hopeless blowouts, laughter around the league and debates on whether this team is capable of winning a single game.
