Black Monday Overview
The discussion highlights the calm and relatively uneventful nature of Black Monday, with only Doug Peterson losing his position as head coach. While it was expected that there might be many changes, it instead turned out to be a day of retention for several teams, notably the Giants, who decided to keep both their GM and coach despite their struggles. There's an acknowledgment that team dynamics often prevent owners from making drastic decisions, as they may wish to avoid the stress of extensive coaching searches. Maintaining stability, albeit amid disappointment, appears to be a common theme among franchises looking to regroup this offseason.
