As umpteen amounts of people have said, it makes sense that the new rules (with the CBA) and the evolution of the game, just passed PA by and his schemes/plays just aren't up to snuff anymore, hence why the guys I mentioned above were so successful and we saw less continuity in ability, as time has gone on.

Plus, his man-love with players was ridiculous.

I agree with this.  However, a lot of those cats were pro ready, early round talents.
