No chance they do it this close to the end of the window, with other targets supposedly still in play. Could scare players off, and Sellars and Shi won't want that.No way they sack him after backing him how they have.
I've thought for a while that the winter WC is going to be our curse this season. They're gonna give him another half a dozen games to avoid confronting the fact that they've backed a losing horse, then by the time it's clear we're screwed we'll be only a few more games from the WC break. Jeff'll let things whimper out towards there with the plan of finding and appointing his replacement, to come in and take over when the season restarts.
