7) Richard would demand accountability from the players and coaches.
While those are all good points, they're absolutely moot, if the failure of this defense is because of or partly because of Richard, as some believe.
We would find out, which is all you can ask at this point. I'd rather know now either way than be wondering after the season and changes are made. What if Richard goes on to be a great head coach elsewhere (ala Sean Payton) while we flounder under Jerry's next pick? What if Richard ends up being Jerry's next pick and is as bad as Jerry's current pick?
This is tryout time IMO, with a team that still has a chance to do something but needs for the ship to be righted. The circumstances are much better in that regard than most for interim or new coaches, so it's a good tryout. Obviously, being stuck with the current schemes does not make it the perfect tryout, but considering that we've been close in a few of our losses, it puts more of an onus on the head coach to make a difference, which is what we're wanting to see.
