A new head coach goes to his office and finds 3 sealed envelopes from the previous fired coach, labeled Open for Emergency #1, #2, and #3.
The team loses 3 straight, and the coach opens Emergency #1. It says “Fire the Offensive Coordinator.” Things get better.
Then another slump, the coach opens envelope #2, which says “Fire the Defensive Coordinator.”
Then things really hit bottom. The Coach opens #3, which says “Go to the store, and buy 3 envelopes.”
