other coaches during the season without looking like a total jerk - both to the schools they work for and also to Detmer. The idea that he'd go out and be looking for a replacement while Ty was still on the staff would be a much, much larger slap in the face than the current process.

While your analogy might work for you, I dont see it applicable to a head coach replacing a coordinator who either was (a) a flop or (2) not a good fit, or both.
