The season is coming to an end for the team. The coach's contract is
expiring. The coach was gifted good enough game plans, but he couldn't deliver
on the reason he was hired, which was to bring a championship to the city.
When it came time to decide if the team should extend him a new contract for
another season, the team decided to go in a different direction. Most fans
thought it was the right decision.
That might sound like I'm talking about the head coach of the Dallas
Cowboys, Mike McCarthy, but if you guessed I was really talking about the
mayor of Richardson, Bob "Coach" Dubey, I can't say you're wrong. The City of
Richardson's "Coach" is in the same boat that McCarthy was. Having a long
career on the sidelines can result in enough friendships to win you the job in
the first place, but that won't save your job if you don't win championships.
Too often, Coach Dubey went with his gut, throwing out good
game plans on the fly, and ending up with a string of losses. Sooner or
later, a coach trading on his longevity needs to be thanked for his service
and replaced. Let's look at the results on the field this term to decide if
that time is now.
