Was it a mistake to fire Skiles??

Unless Skiles quit on the team, which is still a bit of an open issue,
I think its fair at this point to question whether or not the team is
better or worse as a result of that decision.

I can't point to a single thing that's happened since Skiles was fired
that wouldn't or couldn't have happened had he stayed.   One thing
that has changed though is that in firing Skiles Pax  gave away the
one advantage they had which was a mental approach to the game that
few other teams in the league can sustain.  Did they quit or did he??
Don't know, but either way its clear now that at least some of those
guys wont be back next year so we can ask if Skiles was fired to
placate and motivate players who aren't or wont be in the team's long
term plans.

With Skiles they were an under motivated group that fell far short of
their pre-season expectations.  Without Skiles they are exactly the
same except that the entire franchise is in need of new beginning and
direction.  As I watch them implode against Detroit in the first half
Im not seeing how that's better.
