Actually, I do hold Austin accountable for the secondary's inability to cover.  What, you think they all just suddenly forgot how to play football?  He's got them playing zone, when they all did well in man.  Obviously, Austin isn't communicating the principles of his game plan to the players properly.  Haven't you seen the way they look at each other when a coverage is blown?  That's them, not knowing who's responsibility it was to cover that man.  

If Austin can't get his message across, when it's already halfway through the season, it's time to go back to what the players know and are good at.
