I didn’t listen to any of the interviews or presser - what’s been the tone toward Mitch?
IIRC, prior postmortems suggested they needed to continue to develop, that they needed to execute better at the position, etc. But it was never a wholesale rejection of Mitch.
This year, the tone seems to be more an acknowledgement of failure without some nonsense suggestion that he just needs some more Matt Nagy and he’ll turn the corner. Is that correct?
The tone in my opinion is
1)They made a mistake on Mitch.
2)Pace is responsible for that mistake because he is the football guy.
3)The GM is the only one who needs to be a "fooball guy"
4)No one else is accountable or supervises the GM.
5)They have confidence in Pace because he has "grown" from his mistakes
6)They believe Ted Philips is not involved in football decisions and Pace is allowed to run the team into the ground because they are all too stupid to see it or care.
