Has the rebuild begun?

2. The Matt Ryan situation is just more proof of how important good coaching and scheme are. Ryan was in his 2nd season with a good coordinator, great run game and great weapons. He produced an MVP season. That reminds me of when Dalton was in his 2nd season with Hue Jackson and had a mediocre run game and excellent weapons. He produced an MVP caliber season despite a weak run game.

We already have a good QB. We need better coaching.

Fair enough...dumpster fire might be harsh, but it was a franchise that no one took serious and had never won the big game and had talent but couldn't seem to put it together.....which sounds familiar.
And, I completely agree with your conclusion. This team has the talent to succeed, what it lacks is a coach that can game plan and push the right buttons on guys. Lewis can find the talent, but getting a guy like Burfict to play under control or getting the team to not implode when something goes wrong, and just being able to plan a winning strategy against a good coach seems beyond his reach.
