It's actually depressing just how close these last 5 years have been to that terrible run that featured Shula, Coslet and Lebeau. Check out these winning percentages:
Shula/Coslet/Lebeau ------ .295
Lewis/Taylor ('16-20) ----- .329
Not to far off as far as ineptitude. Even more of a bummer is when you look at all of their individual winning percentages...
Coslet ----------------------- .428
Lewis ('16-18) ------------- .404
Shula ------------------------ .268
Lebeau ---------------------- .267
Taylor ----------------------- .203
We're right back in it. This has been absolutely terrible 5 years. And to make matters even worse, this league is making more money than ever, parity has never been better, and this franchise was gifted a brand new stadium with virtually all expenses covered in between these eras. Yet here we sit.
