"He made some catches over the middle. It was really the same concept over and over"

Some of his jobs were because he married Mike Sherman's daughter.

After this 0-8 start, probably our players don't believe in him.

It does smack of the Dave Shula hire, and I'm not just saying that to be a smart ass.  The guy is inexperienced, has had a decent amount of help getting his chances, his resume is shaky, and we gave him a whopper of a promotion.  I'm not sure if there were experienced guys who didn't want the job ala Cowher this time around, but the comparison is apt.

Toss in that he was in over his head as a HC and our organization has a tendency to put even the more competent coaches and players we've had behind the eight ball.
