One area of the team that was going to be looked at was the coaching staff and Pace deferred to Nagy, who said they are “working through that.” They worked fast, apparently, because four coaches were fired just hours later. Offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, tight end coach Kevin Golbride, and assistant special teams coordinator Brock Olivo were all let go following the press conference.

To let the coaches go with no explanation when there was a prime opportunity to do so with this press conference was cowardly. While Nagy and Pace would likely not get into specifics, they could have addressed the situation once head on, but instead decided to play coy and announce the decision behind closed doors.
