This franchise is stupid. Hiring a hipster GM, who unsurprisingly hires a way outside the box coach, having a franchise QB and not giving him any help for 4 years. But keeping Trestman and Emery doesn't make them stupid. Emery has no realistic shot at being fired. He's only had 3 years, and 1 of them was basically inheriting Angelo's mess of players and w/ Lovie as coach. And if there's any doubt he's the GM for the long-term, then you aren't going to push to get Trestman fired so Emery then has another chance to hire a coach. I think Trestman and Emery are tied to Cutler, for better or worse. Trestman is the QB whisperer, but can't get Cutler to stop making mistakes and make a deep playoff run. Emery made the wacky hire and gave Cutler a long-term contract without having proven he coud stop making mistakes and make a deep playoff run. And it doesn't make financial sense for Cutler to go anywhere yet. Pin it all on the DC. Try to make the veterans buy in on offense this offseason, hope Wilson isn't hurt in camp, the OL is improved, and that the defensive issues are partly scheme related. It sucks if it is a lame duck situation, but I'd much rather that than Emery hiring another dud coach. Our best hope is old Virgina kicking the bucket and her family forced to sell the team. Its widely known the Mccaskeys don't have the financial resources to be able to afford the massive estate taxes her death would bring. That's the best scenario.
