An inexperienced head coach needs experienced advisors around him who have been 'live fire' situations before.
Mike has none but L Frazier. Almost everyone around him on his staff is doing this for the first time.
To think his support might not be equipped to handle things yet isnt a stretch. It's not to say at all that he has lost thr lockerroom, but if he doesn't have leutenants around him to steady things when he isnt able to, it's gonna be hard to pull things together.
Yes, these athletes are 'professionals'. They are also human, and in a game as emotionally charged as football, if things start to go south and the players get the feeling certain members of the staff arent capable of assuming control and providing clear and firm leadership... well, it could very easily result in the kind of BS we have witnessed to date.
