Does Chasse rise and fall with Walker?

That is over-stating the case, of course. But if Walker was forced down Chasse's throat, then if he fails, it probably helps Walker. "See, I told you so. You should have let me do my job." However, if Chasse entirely signed onto Walker, then if he fails, Chasse would have had two flops in a row. Then the Beard hiring begins to look more like a lucky guess than a shrewd choice.

If the overall department were looking good, it would be one thing, but at that point Chasse would have had several years' track record, and if it is then in the shape it is now, Chasse will be looking really inept, at least on the competitive side of his job. (Of course, there is a lot more to his job than on-the-field performance.)
