Apparently all missed communication and blown assignments, not even a talent thing. Guy got fired at the end of October when the Lions were 1-6 and they finished 7-2 without him.
Not saying I particularly wanted Okudah, but he had 3 position coaches in 3 years. At 24, he still has an outside chance at living up to his top-5 pick talent, he's just a few months older than CTB. At 27, Sidney Jones pretty much is who he is.
(Don't know if you care, but Pro Football Reference has Okudah as allowing 59.7% completion and an 87.6 QB Rating in coverage last year, roughly the exact same as Sidney in 2021, the last time he played any meaningful amount of snaps.)
Bad coach no doubt, Pleasant sure ain't no Anarumo. Okudah has had a lot of changes and he is young as you say.
Still, when I watched both Jeff and Sid play I thought Sid looked better PFR aside.
