Surprised no one has mentioned...

I don't know how well the guy does his job, but I think you've got to concede that he has his job because of his name. Surely Richardson played a large part in giving him the job, and I would imagine that he'd ensure that he keeps it -- it's not like this is a coordinator we're talking about.

I think he stays.

He could very well be brought back in. The mass purging is nothing more than making the position much more attractive to candidates. Once hired, they will be urged to hire sm3 in some capacity. Of course, he may get picked up elsewhere.

I think our problem was that our coaches suffered from extreme groupthink over the past few years. getting new blood in there should help things out a lot and keep things fresh.

only reason having sam mills III around was sentimentality and i'm not a fan of keeping people around just for that reason. we'll get over it.

skipper was arguably a top 5 RB coach... you just dont get rid of a guy like him. i know its a weird feeling to have had a competent coach... but he was one

here's the problem with this...new coach comes in and starts with his own way of doing things and skipper says, "but here's how we do it around here." not saying that would happen, but it could. and he's also a vestige of the old staff. as efefective as he might still be, it's better for the team and the new coach to be able to bring in his own staff across the board. chemsitry among the coaches is essential to make sure everyone is on the same page. the players will get used to the new coaches and the new system.

totally agreed here. skipper would be a massive holdover from foxball.

One thought to consider... the coaching staff may not want to come back. Richardson may have pissed them off too much by all he's done (or rather, not done).

I thought of this too, but I think there's a decent chance he'll rejoin the staff when it starts to form. After all, his father survived coaching changes. And if not, he's an extremely intelligent guy and has a lot to offer whichever team he joins up with next year (and I know he has no interest in leaving the NFL right now.)
