That’s why they keep kicking the can. Hoping, wishing and praying the draft pick meant to replace a star steps up. They haven’t.
That’s not the fault of the coaches. Zac’s recent enough playoff success proves he can coach. It’s not just the teams (Bills) that you can say wet the beds in the playoffs. It’s coaches too. And 5-2 rather folks like it or not buys time. It could be worse. If winning a SB is really the goal.
Zac’s the one that still has the power if he’d wield it. And he should. If the plan is to pay certain positions and rely on the draft to develop replacements then you have to draft good. Tobin is the fall guy. He should be. And Zac if he had any pull should remember he is the best they are probably going to get at HC, and he needs to threaten to quit! If only a power play to restructure the scouting department.
Who else can force it if not Zac at this point?
So because the front office knows they’re cheap, they should blame Tobin for failure to assemble a good roster? I’m in favor of kicking Tobin to the curb just because he’s been here too long and complacency sets in, but I’m not sure I’m following your logic. How about the front office modernize their stance on contract structures or sell the franchise to an owner who’s priority is to field the most competitive roster each season as opposed securing their target return on investment?
