Oh for sure. Tons of nuance here.

Even being split on it, I'd say the odds of Red "growing into it" are about 10%, and I'm sure people can make reasonable arguments for well lower. But I also want badly for it to work out--I grew up watching him streak across the floor--and I have concerns about what his "wins above replacement" are if we let him go.

IMHO we'd need an extremely solid list of candidates, otherwise the risk of hitting the restart button *again* in short order isn't worth it vs. letting it ride another year and seeing if either he or the market for new coaches improves.

One more thing on hopelessness. People acquire skills in plateaus. You struggle a bit at a level, then jump up to another one. Sometimes you go down a little bit. It's not all linear improvements. It might be fair to say the odds decrease, but I don't think it's fair to the dude to say he has no chance just because he's not demonstrating the growth expected of him. Something something Josh Allen wasn't recruited out of high school. People progress at their own rates.
