Probably not. However, you could say:
After a 4 and 8 season, you need to re-evaluate everything. . . .
Scene: Arillaga Family Sports Center water cooler
Graduate Assistant: Hey coach, did you see that interview Coach Shaw did with Jacob Rayburn on the Cardinal Sports Report?
Assistant Coach: Nah, I don't have time to read that crap; what did he say?
GA: Rayburn asked him if he was anticipating any coaching changes?
AC: And what did David say?
GA: Said he was "evaluating everything". What do you think that means?
AC: I don't know, but if I were you I'd make sure my resume was updated, just in case
GA: Thanks. What are you going to do?
AC: Well, maybe I should call back that HC from the ACC that was wondering if I'd like a change in scenery
Remember, we are only the target audience in Rayburn's mind, not in coach Shaw's.

If it were me, I'd want that conversation to happen. I'd want to light a fire, with a blow torch if necessary. If my staff, after an 8 loss season, weren't concerned about their future and the future of the team, I'd be looking for a new staff. I'd be looking for people to say, "yeah, this season sucked, I didn't do my job well enough, but that's not going to happen again. Here's what I'm going to do to fix it. And I need your help for X Y and Z--go ask Muir for it, then let me do my job."
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
