I think Kelly and especially Swarbrick deserve to go, and it has nothing to do with on the field results. Using a 20 year old\'s death as cover to make a football decision is disgraceful, but twisting the facts in a PR spin like Swarbrick has done is about as shameful a thing as I\'ve seen go unpunished in the main stream media in some time. At least Kelly has said he takes responsibility. Swarbrick has run from it.

I have to say that Sullivan\'s death reminds me in a way of some mistakes I\'ve seen in the OR (thankfully not deaths)- large complex systems with multiple players, and all responsibility lies with one person who ultimately must rely on other people to do their jobs effectively. It\'s why surgeons will take a case to the OR only if it is absolutely necessary, or everything is 100% optimized for success.I doubt Kelly knew the exact capabilities of the equipment that broke down, but he must have known the forecast, and at least the chance of danger to any videotapers. Whether or not he assumed someone would do their job in getting the videotapers out of the way, ultimately the responsibility still lies with him in not ensuring their safety.

I think both should be fired, but I would not begrudge Kelly another shot at coaching. Swarbrick on the other hand should be fired and the family\'s settlement should come out of his earnings.
