Agreed about losing the players. If he still has their support then what the fans, the media, or the management have to say is not really relevant right now. But IF, big if, he's already losing players and the locker room is not jelling in a way that will cause the players to become a team then he needs to go sooner rather than later. No, not after 3 games.
You have a locker room full of young and inexperienced players. Do we really have the time for a coach to learn how to do his job while simultaneously trying to lead others to do the same? The mix of so much newness, inexperience, and youth is not one that stands to withstand a great deal of adversity. There is just not the foundation or security within the team or the organization at this point to spiral downward faster than before even if we are 'rebuilding.'
