A. It's not like all the teams looking at Willie didn't already know about his college degrees and other credentials
B. I'm not all that convinced this thing is imminent, I remember all the hubbub about other guys getting hired, nothing happened.
C. I couldn't imagine a less relevant predictor of hiring decisions than a vocal majority of a given team's fans.
D. There are some pretty significant coaches left on the market, including Trotz and potentially Babcock, as well as Blashill.
So yeah, it's pretty likely that coach Willie is gone, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion, and it might not be an issue if we can get a worthy replacement, which we've done in the past.
