No argument here, especially as it concerns Prescott, though I'd prefer to see McCarthy stay, at least for now. I'm not a big fan of the coach, but who would they bring in?

There's more at play than just tossing money on the table. Not only does a coach have to deal with the meddling of the FO, they have to identify with the established younger players and the new ones coming in.

Recall the lull after the Packer loss? I'm guessing JJones had at least a rebuffed conversation and offer with Jim Harbaugh before he accepted the Chargers' job (he was my choice). Belichick? Maybe he still has it in him, but the dude is old. In NE, he had his rigid system in place and it began falling apart. Here, there's no way the players would buy into it. Zimmer? Who knows, maybe he could be the bridge.

The good news, so far, is no contract for Prescott. He is the bottleneck to going farther in the playoffs.
