Sephiroth Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Here's the problem: she's a year too late. We tried the "keep everything in place, but change the periphery" thing last offseason and this year, we're actually worse. I mean, in 12 months time we'll be saying to Reese and Coughlin, "hey guys, we're in pretty good shape... except we had to change the offense, defense, special teams, and turn over 2/3rds of the roster. Aside from that, everything's fine." Does anybody actually believe that? What other successful team in sports is run that way? Bite the bullet, bring out the brooms, and clean house.

fishgutmartyr Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'd say better late than never. It looks to me like Reese and Coughlin have the same, noble problem: too loyal to their underlings. Reese's general theory is a reasonable one--if you draft well, you don't spend on FAs, and you turn over your own. But that totally hinges on your draft, and that falls completely on how well your scouting staff does their job--Marc Ross. Our scouting system hasn't changed as far as we know from when Reese was in the spot, so the problem probably lies with the guy that replaced him. Same with Coughlin. This team sucks, but it hasn't given up--that's not a sign of a poorly coached team. Conversely, specials have always been average or less, even drafting players specifically for their special teams skills. With the exception of the backfield, the defense can't develop players, can't get in position, and can't make clutch plays. That's all coaching issues, but at levels lower than Coughlin. If he makes a stink, let Coughlin go, but I don't think he will; he has to see what we're seeing. He'll never say it--he doesn't air the laundry in the press--but he's smart enough to see it.
