[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1094715, member: 17987"] Policy's reasoning is fine, and I'd agree that you don't want someone (especially guiding your franchise) to be making decisions based on spur-of-the-moment emotions. At the same time though one could just as easily point to "7 years of data" as a reason to move on, too. We can look at all of that data and reasonably conclude that Matt has been a very good coach, arguably even a great or elite one at times. But the question is not whether or not Matt has been a good coach for us in his seven years in GB. The question is whether or not we believe he can be *better* - if he can elevate above his previous level to push us to a Super Bowl. Of course this is not necessarily all on Matt. We as a franchise have been blessed to generally be exceptionally stable and to have a degree of continuity between staff/management/leadership that few teams have. There are certainly some positives to this, but one could also look at it and say to some extent "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got." So IMO Policy is correct to say that Matt's body of work *can* support continuing on with him, but I would disagree with the notion (and I am not saying Policy nor any here are necessarily saying this) that upon looking at Matt's "resume" that the only reasonable or "non-emotional" decision would be to extend his contract. There is a perfectly rational and reasonable case to be made for moving a different direction too. It would not have to be an "emotional decision" for one to choose to move on from Matt. Similarly I would agree that Policy is correct in saying that "it's on all of us," that's true enough, but if that's the case then it's tough for me to say we should just continue on with largely the same structure and direction (see above regarding continuity) as we have for the last 7+ years and assume outcomes will change.
