Grinch’s home listed for sale

In retrospect yes it was a year too late but at this point last year the case could have been made to retain him for one more season and get some better depth at all three levels of the defense because the 2021 defense was I believe at the time our worst in history and they actually improved in a few areas in 2022.

The buyout does make it more difficult to fire him if things really go south but at the same time this rebuild wasn't going to happen overnight. Look at the recruiting classes leading up to 2022 and there's a dearth of even decent talent on the lines. That having been said, he does need to nail the DC hire.
