The 3 stopgaps I brought up because they were solid enough to start. Not bad, not good. Average at best. But fine because they didn't cost anything and they are only here until we find a replacement. Jones is one of those guys. He was certainly serviceable in his time here.
But as I mentioned before, those good moves were balanced out by enormous mistakes made not by error in judgement, as much as it was driven by ego. I'd be okay with the Cassel move, if he admitted the mistake and moved on. I'd be okay with the Haley firing, if not for the fact that he was willing to sabotage Haley, even if that came at the team's expense. And worst thing is, I don't feel like this is ever going to change.
