Venables: "I hired the wrong guy".

[Podgy]

"I hired the wrong guy. It obviously wasn't the right guy. And it's not centered on Seth (Littrell). I failed. I own that. That's not earth-shattering news. Okay, now what do I got to do to fix it?"

You would NEVER hear Lebby say that.

That's a pretty sh*tty thing for him to say publicly. No matter how he phrases it, he's blaming the assistant he's firing. Just go with the standard, we appreciate everything he's done for us, but for whatever reason it just didn't work out, and wish him well in the future.

Especially since it’s directed at a guy that was a beloved player on the team you are coaching. Yeah, he’s not loved now but time heals wounds.

I feel like there's a happy medium between "From [defensive] staffing, I do have confidence. I see those guys every day. I see their fight and energy and toughness. I see how consistent they've been" and THAT.
