I think the assumption is Mike (control freak) won't allow this to happen. Everything has to be on his terms, period. And while he may show Haslett the door he'll still want the final say on the new DC and our scheme, which has proven to be a fucking disaster under Mike as it was for so long in Denver.
But the bigger issue is Kyle, and unless Kyle gets a great gig somewhere else Mike won't send him packing. Do you honestly believe Kyle will land that gig? I can't imagine it. Not at all. His play-calling has been abysmal save for a brief stint last season when the RO had defenses on their heels. Defenses are now verbalizing how easy Kyle is to predict, but frankly any two-bit football fan (me, for example) has seen this for years. Kyle doesn't deserve to be in pro football, though with the legacy name and connections he'll likely get OC gigs, albeit in crap markets/teams, for years to come.
The bottom line is Mike's decisions have held this team back one way or another. His choice to blow up the defense and start over with a DC who doesn't know the 3-4. His choice to let Kyle build the offensive scheme. How do you punish other people for Mike's decisions and expect the team to follow him?
