I see Sanders being gone regardless of the outcome. His fate is sealed IMO. All the assignment errors and breakdowns pretty much dug his grave. Running a very plain scheme, if you can't figure out who to cover and are confused after three years in this plain jane D, that's a deal breaker.
Whether the players have just tuned out coaching, have lacked study habits or just plain aren't selling out like they should, the handwriting's on the wall for Sanders dismissal.
Stock's situation is different. Only six of his original 11 "teamers" finished the year. But the biggest factor is his relationship to M3. They go way back to KC days. I sense big loyality to Stock whereas M3 had no background w/ Sanders, whom he inherited and kept. Does M3 have the 'nads to deep six a long time associate who he likely has great admiration and respect for?
As Tom Rossley proved in his tenure in GB, sometimes it's hard to let go of somebody in the inner circle of trust for the head coach.
