Instead; planning how & when to go about instituting Change for the longer term.
Walking in day one and trading certain players away or signing big name Free Agents or drafting a rookie QB like say Haskins may be like putting the cart before the horse.
Taking a year to evaluate Dalton and the rest of the inherited players plus to install the systems before making any drastic changes may be the wiser approach.
Get familiar with what you have before making the bolder moves.
This is the approach I think they took.
It just does not work this way in the NFL. When a guy interviews for a head coach position he walks in and lays out his plan for success. No one ever got hired by saying "Eh, I don't know, let me look things over for a year and then maybe I will come up with something."
And how would the players like to hear, "I don't know what I can do to help us win this year, but you guys go out and work as hard as you can anyway. I am sure I will think of something by next year."
