Pitchforks were out for Marv after XXVI. Ralph probably didn’t want to move on with the core group still being intact, although aging. By the time Kelly left, it was all systems go on Operation Fire Marv.
He eventually left in a more dignified manner but there is zero doubt he would have been let go had he chosen not to resign.
Really don’t understand the adverse reaction to calling for a coach to be let go. Seriously, it’s not like people are calling for a puppy to be murdered or something. On average 7 NFL HC’s get replaced every season. Such is life. Perform to the level of expectations or get that resume polished up.
A win vs. KC would be huge for the team’s confidence. I think that could springboard us to a strong finish. If we lose though, still not dead. Just need to find a way to split the next two worse case.
Fortunately, Cleveland and Pittsburgh helped us out a bit today.
