pierce and clark were the big mistakes since they were both leaders and knew the system. for the money, letting smoot wasn't really that big a deal.

It may have been possible that Trent Green would have stayed had the team not been in transition at the time of his departure. He left the same year Snyder bought the team, and at the time stated he was unsure of the direction the team was going, and was basically loking for stability.
