When you pull the plug on these assistants, you pull the plug on their families too. MF hired the guy. It was his choice. Now live with it at least till the season is over. To fire Coach Ash now would not make Marcus look very good and, on top of that, I'm not sure the administration would give the green light on it this early in the season. The best MF can do is get heavily involved with the defense for the remainder of the season. Something he should have done after Miami. He had to know all through camp what was going on. Just my opinion.
