Eh. I'd really have no problem with Bates and Marinelli sticking around. Don't mind either, but I don't think it will hurt if they are tossed either. (Is Bates, Cutler's guy? If so he should stay actually) He is. Anything you can do to maximize Cutler I'm in favor for. I definitely think the offense is salvageable. That said, I don't think Bates is the only solution. If they want to hire a HC who can bring in someone who isn't an OC monster, hey, great. Bates hast done ANYTHING noticeable to maximize Cutler this year.
