Having thought about it a bit the timing is a little awkward...but probably necessary.
If they're going to cull assistants they need to do it shortly as they have to be let known if they have a spot for next year (around early August From memory)
Any change to the senior coaching position needs to be done ASAP after our season finishes so they can be ready for pre-season (and perhaps have an input in drafting).
Football department admin guys need to be ready for trading/drafting.
The problem of course is that Teague and his assistants now have to operate in an environment where they not only have to deal with the on-field issues, but they need to do so with one eye over their shoulder...an added burden.
They need to do so with the knowledge that there is some player discontent over aspects of the game plan and selections.
They'll be second guessing themselves.
If Teague and the others were feeling pressure, it now becomes more intense.
How the players respond will be very interesting and tell a lot about unity.
