I'm just not a guy to change something just for the sake of changing it. If you have a short term plan and a long term plan, you stay the course. There is absolutely no empirical evidence that shows Lebeau doesn't make adjustments and changes, that his age and physical health are keeping him from putting in the necessary time to be successful and that he hates rookies and won't play them. What I'm pretty sure we have seen is a very fair man that requires a player to actually out perform the guy in front of him and if he can't, then he doesn't get on the field, it's really that simple.
As I've said, if Lebeau goes, it won't make a difference to me, personally, I think the organization will be weaker for pushing him out rather than allowing him to retire on his own. He has pride, but he's also a company guy and I get the feeling that if he feels he's the problem he'll be the first to get out of the way and let someone else take over. At this point, he believes he can help make the team better, I tend to agree, for now.
