Kubiak officially out, Smith staying?

[Warren]

My preferences:

1. Blow it up -- fire both. Both have had ample opportunity and neither has gotten the job done. Bring in a consultant with experience in building a winning franchise to advise how those organizations are structured and provide significant input on a short list of GM and head coach candidates. Ron Wolf would be at the top of my list for this role; Dan Reeves wouldn't be on it. With his input, hire a GM who will have authority to hire the head coach, subject to veto by McNair.

or

2. Bring in the consultant and with his input hire a GM, who would have authority to fire or retain Kubiak and/or Smith, although if retained Smith would have a reduced role. If Kubiak is retained the new guy would "help" him hire a new defensive coordinator. If not, the new GM would hire the head coach subject to veto by McNair.
