I am baffled that the team has not already rid itself, by whatever means is most advantageous, of the obviously failed JJSS and Parker. They are virtually useless. Given his toxic attitude, Parker is - as he has been on and off his entire career - a net negative. Some might say they "give us the best chance to win at present." First off, in my mind, that's horseshit. They blow. Second, even if so, it is far more valuable in what is likely a lost season to develop and evaluate the younger players this year to discover what they can be than it is to cover Bill's ass given what a lousy job it was taking them on in the first place. Sometimes this team - this GM or HC - is awfully goddamned slow to do that which should obviously be done - draft O-linemen, or sit aging stumblebums, say - or to avoid doing that which is patently stupid, like benching a perfectly good developing player either because of a predictable rookie/newbie mistake, or because one of his blowbuddy coaches doesn't like the cut of the guy's jib or he shows a lack of avidity in kissing FOB ass.
Heh, that was a spicy meatball.
