Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4558422, member: 40"] That could very well be. I've believed for many years that AW is in a lose-lose situation with JB. Coming off the second probation, there was a clear path in place for JB to depart. So all you have to do is get to the finish line, and let JB walk off into the sunset. Then he decided to stick around, and the program continues to slip a notch. So what can AW do? If he pushes him out, then AW is the bad guy who forced an iconic HOF coach out in the eyes of the fanbase. And if he does nothing, then the program continues to decline. Really, there is no good option -- both of them suck. By letting JB's obstinance do himself in, it gives him the impetus to take decisive action. [/QUOTE]
