I mean, they live in some alternate reality in their inner circle, where they consider themselves competent. The rest of the sports would can see that they aren't, but they are immune to the blatantly obvious...and thinks those who criticize them (fans and media) are the true clueless ones.
What's really amazing to me is that us fans, who don't get paid any money, could run this team better than these people can.
I don't mean the contracts, the schemes or the day to day operations, but having a philosophy and building up from there.
We have it.
Sure us fans may disagree on which players to draft and who is good and who is not. However, pick your poison, there are fans that would commit to a philosophy and fire any coach that couldn't meet the basic aspects of that philosophy.
For instance if Defense is your cup of tea. There are fans that would invest in the DLine, make sure to have the coaches that will get the BEST out of that DLine and if the coach isn't getting the results, then that coach is gone. If it is secondary, then same thing, get the talent at the secondary and get the coaches that can bring out that talent.
Offense, pick what do you want... finesse, power? Combination... Air attack, ground attack, high scoring, ball control? Get the coaches first, then get the players... coaches can't bring out the best in the players, get rid of the coaches. If the players are the problem then get rid of the players.
Right now, we don't seem to know what we want to be and everyone just seems lost and out of place, from the players to the coaches. Which to me suggest no philosophy or real direction to point the team in.
