I think from Jones' perspective, he's such an abnormal owner that half the battle is to find a good coach willing to put up with this circus. Once he has one, I can understand why he'd be reluctant to make a change.
Then again, to your point, people are pissed. A coach firing is the easiest pound of flesh to offer up, no doubt.
Well that's the thing. McCarthy would have to live with another season of getting beat up by the media as well as fans. They're not forgetting this. Every press conference he will get incoming. Even if no one says it, he's going to feel it.
If McCarthy had the resilience of Wade Phillips, maybe I could see it. But he looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.
