Rapien and Pike lay it out

There are improvements too, lack of penalties (exception of one game) shows good discipline. They're now at least winning some. I'd say Minny beats them, and maybe the Bears, definitely the Stoolers the last few years. In years past, JAX is probably the only win so far. They do play together and play hard. Pike noted some of that too. I'd personally like to see him relinquish play calling duties and stick to the rest of his responsibilities if he's going to stay. 

They've done pretty well drafting/picking FAs. Now they just need to get the most out of those assets. 

I agree with most of that as well. I think he and the team would be better off with him being more of a traditional head coach like Marvin Lewis. I don't think he's a terrible HC given, like you stated, the players he has brought in, the effort the team gives, more disciplined, etc. 

Unfortunately his unwillingness to give up the playcalling is a big indictment on him though.
