im not sure many people would argue with your points but the question imo is who. its easy to say make the switch. but who are you switching to. because while it seems like it cant get worse. it can. we can go back to 1-5 instead of 7-9. am i saying that you should be satisfied with 7-9, no. but if your going to make a switch, have a plan in place. if im firing fisher i would already know who im hiring or at least have a real short list of people that im "confident" that can get this team over the hump.
