Does safe mean they likely make it through next season before they are let go as opposed to being replaced in season? Trying to understand rational of Staley being safe and MCCarthy being on a short leash. I think I'd put Staley on a short leash as well. I get being aggressive but his going for it on fourth down no matter what attitude is bordering on reckless, and the Chargers feel like they are in the same boat as the Cowboys with their degree of stupid penalties and costly mistakes resulting in them losing football games they should win. Not to mention the epic playoff collapse, they practically feel like the AFC Cowboys.
