I am willing to cut Hervey some slack. Yes, I believe he was overzealous in jettisoning "Wally's guys" (players with whom he perhaps didn't have a history or strong familiarity) but consider the following outlier. He had a new $725,000 per annum asset that he suddenly had to fit within the team's SMS. He should have a much better handle this off-season on the salary structure and who are priority signings.
He misread the tea leaves countless times on personnel but has made enough positive in-season moves IMO to be given another chance. Talent (or lack of) wasn't the biggest factor in this losing 2019 season. As for Claybrooks, I like his players' buy-in. Not crazy on some of in-game decision-making (54-yard field goal attempt? Going for it on 3rd and 2 with a new QB and plenty of time left in the game?) but I think he will be a fine head coach in time.
