He never said it but as a realist I know cleaning up the fiasco caused by Curtis (yes Manning's fault) would take time and any new manager deserves three windows before axes fall. Doing anything now to Manning would undermine where we are now and might set us back even further because you never know who we might get in or what their philosphy may be. Could add another tear down and rebuild year to the whole thing or maybe another Curtis who randomly chose players based on whatever he could find.
