I guess what I find most frustrating about this is the absence of any specifics in terms of what or who the players supposedly have problems with. And I'm not even sure it's the same issues as when we had the rash of transfers with Betts et al leaving. For example, when Lauren Betts transferred out, we had a different assistant coach (Britney Anderson) who I believe was the one who made some negative comments about Betts' size, etc. But she's not around anymore. And we didn't have Tempie, Heather, or Bird (Erica McCall). Are ALL of them problematic? Is the notion the environment is toxic? And if so, it's kind of surprising to me because I felt like Paye was so complimentary of the players in every press conference and interview. That doesn't mean she can't be different behind the scenes, but it is surprising to me because she seems very supportive and affirming.
From the outside, we could all see that we were not a well coached offense, but that seems like a very different basis for a player revolt than what is supposedly being claimed by that one twitter account. And it's not even clear to me what the plan is: sack Paye, the entire assistant coaching staff, and conduct an open search? Is that going to keep our players from transferring? Doesn't seem overly likely to me.
Maybe Tara could just come out of retirement for a season? Is that in the option set? ;)
