Ben Baby mentioned that the staff didn't feel like they had a good idea on the roster until mid year. Now they know who is or isn't going to work and I think the quick jettison from last year is no coincidence. There were even comments made mid year by the staff about the issues at LB with the beat writers predicting the whole room was getting cleaned out after the season.
We have had 4 win seasons that didn't have any FA movement so just being bad isn't the only contributing factor here.
That is contrary to everything I have ever read about hiring new coaches. They always claim that during the interviews for new coaches a major part of the discussion is the current roster and what plans the new coach has for changes.
