The team later fired the coach Sunday, Dec. 29, following the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. ‘You look at the great franchises. They don’t fire your coach after the first season. You can’t do it,’ Thomas said. ‘It sets everything back. You just hit the reset button. Anytime you hit the reset button, it severely damages the organization, and it lengthens the amount of time that it takes to get back to the playoffs and turn the team into a consistent winner.’
