That is your opinion. Which I respect that you have.
But it is also fair to point out that coaches who perform badly get on the 'hot seat' and are even fired for doing things like missing the playoffs and drafting badly over the past 8 years.
Just because you're a legend one day, doesn't mean you don't get fired or let go the next day. Just ask #12.
The discussion was not who should be the next Pats head coach, but rather should a head coach who happens to coach the New England Patriots be on the hot seat when the cumulation of his mistakes has led us to this point of missing the playoffs and possibly staring another sub .500 season in the face.
I don't see why the thread deserved censorship. But please make it clear to us at what point are we allowed to have this discussion? By midseason, only until the regular season is over and we're not in the playoffs? Some would say we already reached the point where the discussion was valid by missing the playoffs last season.
Some of us decided to wait a bit after the spending spree at the start of free agency earlier this year gave us some hope. But now in hindsight it looks like a desperate flurry of a man desperate to keep his job. I'll respect whatever demarcation you say is the point we're allowed to have this discussion, but it's fair to ask, if not now, then when?
