He outthinks himself and tries to be an aggressive coach, which he's not, and I feel like it often backfires.  He takes risks at wrong times and is conservative at wrong times.

He needs to realize that there's a time (and location) on the field to be aggressive, which just goes back to his horrible game management.

I hope the new coaches (and guys in new positions) can convince him of our strengths and when is a good time to take risks.

Yup,

What kills me is when we're up 13-6 with three minutes to go until the half and take the punt out to our own 40 and we pull the famous run, run, pass, punt out and the other team gets it back with a minute and a half left and drives down and ties the game just before the half.

It's not 1978 anymore Merv that sitting on a lead crap doesn't cut it anymore !
