Empty seats got MB to spend on free agents. Lewis was able to keep us competitive without them for years. Taylor couldn't.
Maybe you’re right. Fact is, butts in the seats are just one of the revenue streams these days. That TV revenue is a sizeable lure, too.
Was thinking about W/L records under different coaching staffs. LeBeau….putrid. Shula had a bad record, too. Wyche had some “stinkers” for a few years. Paul Brown told him to get more rest. Mike Brown fired him.
The similarities in all of them? Once you lose the locker room, you’ve lost your job. Taylor never lost the locker room. Hope he never does.
