Firing Tavita would be a loss of face for Coach. More important than winning.

how many coaches has Shaw actually fired/encouraged to leave as opposed to those who left on their own?

Can’t think of any but when a position coach leaves you never know unless it’s a promotion. 

But that’s why it’s so important to do it. Yes, letting Pritchard go is a loss of face but so is a 4-8 season and finishing last in your division. Big changes are needed and the offense was the bigger problem by far

Not that this should be a consideration but after this year, what opportunities are there for Tavita to move?  Who wants an OC coming off a 4-win season?  Had a change been made last year, he would doubtless have had more opportunities to explore.
