Gus has to go. There’s no way they can bring him back. He is 100 percent gone.
Beyond him, I think the next most likely candidate is Ballard. I’d say it’s a toss up whether Jim fires him or not. It may well depend on whether Jim thinks he can hire a guy to work with AR.
I think it’s at least conceivable that Steichen gets fired. I think it largely depends on the state of his relationship with AR. I don’t see Jim ditching AR this soon, unless things are a lot worse than we know of. So if Jim is forced to choose between the two, I predict he’d pick AR and try to find a coach to develop him.
The level of dysfunction in this organization right now is pretty incredible.
