If the team loses two more games before the bye - a definite possibility - I'll start looking seriously into replacement coaches, not because anyone cares what I think but simply to daydream a bit. In something of an about-face I think my current inclination would be to go young and relatively unknown. But smart. I wonder what it would be like to have an intelligent head coach.
I would be happy to upgrade Schaub and Jacoby but I firmly believe the team (when healthy) can win with both. As much as I loved Vonta I am perfectly happy with Casey at TE for reasons that have been discussed here previously. No, he is not the bulldozer blocker that one might wish for but he causes so many problems for defenses that I think that one tradeoff is more than made up for by his versatility.
Yes, it is warm here and lately anyway unusually sunny. November and December are by far the rainiest months here in my immediate area and the rains usually pick up as November approaches. So far it's been relatively dry with more sunny days than I'd expect. Today was spectacularly sunny. I could see distant clouds on the other side of the continental divide (where the climate patters are totally different) and some thunderheads well out to sea, but here it was beautiful. I can tell that the dry season is approaching because the humidity is often surprisingly low during the day. Any of you who lives in Houston or has spent any time there will know exactly how this feels. When I say surprisingly low I mean like 70% or 75% rather than 90%. But the difference is immediately palpable. You'll get some days like that in October in Houston but more often they pile up in November. It's not cool during the day. It's never cool during the day at sea level here. But you can stand around outside and not sweat through your shirt in five minutes. Hell, it might take ten or fifteen. The nights are beautiful. I imagine now it's low seventies, low humidity. Clear skies, lots of stars. I practically never use air conditioning because my house is reasonably open and well ventilated but I very recently quit being a total idiot and covered (and extended) the perfectly ample back patio, put down some nice tile, built an outdoor kitchen along one side, bought a particularly nice outdoor sofa set and a dining table. So I'm planning to spend the great majority of my time out there going forward.

Unfortunate choice of words on my part, we sometimes agree to dissagree on things. But that is what a message board is for, after all.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the sunshine. It has been awfully dry around Texas this year.
After winning handily in Tennessee this past Sunday, and AJ and Casey will probably be ready, I am a lot more optimistic. However J'ville surprised me by not allowing a first down against Baltimore until the 3rd quarter Monday night.
