As for my guess for early firings...
Torts - no comment needed
Hitch - if St.Louis sucks out the gate he is gone.
Hitch is already ceding the reins at the end of the year. Can't see the players getting a new lease on life when they know who's coming in already and know the systems he brings are the same as Hitch's.
