It is loyalty. This is common in sports. Yes it is a mistake. I'd also refer to it as excessive loyalty.  I have seen this in all sports. It is really misplaced loyalty. You like and respect someone. You stick with them. Even if you know deep down they are not living up to expectations...and there are better options

4 guys who did not have misplaced loyalty ...Saban, Coughlin, Belichick, Parcells...also, do not confuse this term with " zero loyalty".  These great coaches I reference above  all have loyalty. But you still have to pull your weight. Loyalty does not mean free pass. Not coincidentally, Saban, Belichick, Coughlin, Parcells...all will be in HOF.

Belichick has said often he hates cutting players. Worst part of his job. Never got used to it.  Especially cutting guys who have worked hard for years and sacrificed for team. But he still cuts them...if the rookie adds more value, that player is gone..  Same with TC, Tuna and Saban. Tough business, cold business...this is not day care.
