I can't disagree with that Om. It IS reactionary and considering how ardent a supporter I have been in the past it is to a degree somewhat surprising. But this team is JUST as much of a mess as it was with Zorn. You're right he's a rookie and should get cut slack because of that. But it's so obvious that he's in way over his head and not up to the task of turning this around. Granted that's not all his fault, our personnel dpt has screwed the pooch bigtime but he never should have been hired to begin with. This is going to take a guy who not only has the brains but has the juice to get players and the FO to buy in, even if his first season doesn't produce a good record. I could take this and give him more of a learning curve if the team had improved in ANY way instead of actually looking worse that it did last year down the stretch. If the team was losing but at least one of the units O or D was still fighting hard and playing well I'd be more open to benefit of dooubt, but that's not the case.
Cut bait, blow it up. Bring in a REAL GM (promote Bruce to pres and get him out of the player evaluation process), revamp the scouting department, let the new GM hire his own coaches, rebuild the O line and last but not least start playing to the strengths of these players instead of forcing them to do things they obviously suck swamp ass at.
