What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo, Vera, the coach. The story says Herbert might be the reason McDaniel gets fired mid-season. Might. Twice.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI rate it warm, about a campfire, because nobody has lost a job yet.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA campfire is cozy.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCozy until the quarterback wanders off and the whole offense goes with him.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTo cool it, McDaniel has to make Herbert look like Herbert again, and quickly.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFan question. If a coach gets fired in October, does he get to keep the whistle?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCoaches don't wear whistles anymore, Vera. That's the one thing that's cool today.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen I'm rating it powder blue, because the chair looks fine.
