I guess my contention is that we have playoff failures where we can point to coaching. We also have some regular season failures we can point to coaching as well that may have cost us home field or better seeding.
In addition, there are also games where we can point to a lack of a good receiving GROUP that also cost us as above.
Offensively, I don’t blame McD much for our woes, because it’s known he doesn’t touch much there. Now does the head coach share some blame by virtue of being the head coach? Of course.
It’s my contention though that McD isn’t a good enough coach, defensive or otherwise to overcome poor offensive coaching and/or a lack of offensive talent. And it’s a reality of the NFL in todays era where you can’t field an elite defense year after year while paying an elite QB.
So my estimation is
1. Fix offensive coaching.
2. Fix offensive talent.
and if you can’t do 1 and 2, fire McD and Beane. JMO
