I know I've been saying that we don't have a worthy interim DC on the staff (and we really don't), but it'd be hard to do any worse than Austin has. Admit the mistake and let Haslett run out the string. I agree that we have too much talent to be THIS bad. I get that we have a few bad spots, but still.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
