It’s a terrible signal to the next GM if we fire Weaver now, it would speak to massive dysfunction in the org. He just got extended and then Gores all of a sudden loses complete trust in him? It’s already public knowledge that Gores went over his head in the coaching hire (for better or worse). I don’t see any reputable candidate wanting to walk into that situation where at any moment the owner could turn on him/take decisions out of his hands/etc. There is good reason to be skeptical of Weaver but gotta at least play the year out first if only for the optics for the next guy
