Great thread idea.
1. Fire the entire coaching staff and hire an offensive mind (McCarthy or Todd Haley) and let him fill out his staff.
2. Convince Mikey to build a damn practice facility.
3. Reshape the roster. Allow aging vets like Gilberry to walk. Sign Zeit and DreKirk to fair contracts, but don't overpay if the market is over the top.
4. Trade McCarron to build up picks to reshape the roster.
5. Target a good RT, WR and K in FA. Draft the future LT with our top 10 pick. This should be enough (combined with a good new o-line coach) to improve this o-line pretty much overnight. Keep Ogabooboo as a developmental swing tackle, ala Anthony Collins.
I really don't think it'd be hard to turn this team back into a contender right away. The problem is, Mike Brown is a tool and won't do much if any of this.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
