This is not good. We need someone to take care of the media, keep the peace b/t coaches, and keep the players in line. Do you guys think Carmichael is ready for all this additional responsibility? It just seems like way too much on one plate. I hope the hunt is still on...

Completely agree. Parcells walking into press conferences after games would have immediately gotten the room in control. Carmichael, Vitt, even Spagnuolo probably won't have that level of gravitas.

The big question now (for me) is: what is the mood of the coaches? How does the guy that does wind up moving into the role feel, knowing that he wasn't the first choice? How do any of them feel knowing that Payton, Loomis, etc. felt they needed to go out of the organization?

I just have a bad feeling that this wasn't handled well and could have made things worse rather than better...
