Obviously Lamporiello is not happy but made clear the coaches were under contract, now he discharged them or they wanted to go elsewhere. Hiller came here from Toronto, after he replaced Scott Gomez in Trotz second year. Gruden came here in the summer of 2018 from Hamilton so these are not Barry Trotz people. Clearly Lane Lambert is going to hire his own staff.
