I feel Billy couldve salvaged some favor among the base had he fired both OL coaches and brought in an OC, possibly even fired AA.

Pretty much where Napier lost me was with his off season moves. Primarily, not making moves with the OL (yet?), not hiring an OC (yet?), and not specifying what he's planning on doing with special teams (coordinator? a position coach doing double duty? ANYTHING???).

Those are 3 pretty big areas that I was hoping to see changes in, and three pretty big strikes against him.

But if the brass wont pay the buyouts, its a moot point to think he'll survive next season.

This may be the case. If so, he's screwed.

But the brass must not be too bright if they don't realize that being cheap upfront is going to cost them around $20 million in buy out funds next year if/when Napier completely falls on his face.

I think his buyout now is at $31 million, and next year drops to $21-22m?
