Other years we had an above average roster and didn't get it done.
Some years, we overachieved and made the playoffs and lost.
When you coach for 16 years, you have a mixture.
True. I'd say we overachieved in 2009 and Marvin earned that coach of the year award.
That said, we've definitely underachieved more often. 0 playoff wins with teams that included:

Housh
Marvin Jones
Sanu
Boyd
Eifert
Gresham
Whit
Braham
Zeitler

It's inexcusable. Instead of talking about free agency, how about we talk about all the talent we had that was wasted?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
