I wouldn't put any blame based on the coaching cap. Hires like Chamblin and Chap were made after it was implemented so there should be a waiver based on bad decisions.
With 6 out of 9 teams making the playoffs and there seems to be 4 pretty bad teams this year, the season is not lost and the onus is on this staff to turn things around with the resources they have. A knee jerk reaction from MLSE right now will make things worse IMO.
Popp's contract is up after this season so there won't be a penlaty in making a change in the off season. I'm not sure if Manning is the right person to oversee this. Changes need to come higher up too.
