Fish was said to be surprised by the FO not extending JJ. Fish was said to be surprised that Snead got a two year extension.
These were people who weren't communicating, and bad things happen to teams that don't communicate, no matter what their job is.
You're right Max. There is a reason this team has the rep it does. If McVay is going to succeed, I can only hope that the organization lets him. Snead has made some good moves to go with a lot of bad ones. I don't really trust him. I trust Demoff less (and I'm an LA guy). I think you get guys moving in a lot of different directions. I do think they have the same agenda, they just aren't very good at communicating it with each other and possibly think an occasional meeting replaces that. Then they each just do what they think is best. I dunno the "how", I only see the results.
