Bringing back a HC after 3 straight losing seasons

And it's not just the stats.  Though it is.  When you put his stats in context it is much more appalling than I thought.

It's the eye test:

• Controlling all his coordinators but Zimmer (this is a gut thing not a fact)
• How badly coached the team seems to be: tackling, gap integrity, penalties, assignment failures, John Ross (is it possible he's not quitting on routes but going where he's told to go?   He ran fine routes in college...)
• Rigid thinking - e.g. the O line just needs to continue playing together rather than trying different combinations
• Making the same mistakes over and over
• Hiring Hue when he did.  The whole team must feel humiliated.  I know I am.
• Playing not to lose
• Being a slave to a system rather than conforming the system to your players' strengths
• Throwing players and coaches under the bus
• Failing to develop creative (versus gimmicky) solutions to problems
• The whole denial of half time adjustments being a reality in the NFL
  

Fine man.   But he should just not be a head coach.

Letting the owner of the team not only force you to keep Paul Alexander, but gave him a promotion to assistant HC.

Let's all let that nugget sink in.

Mike Brown is an ass and Marvin knows he has to do things out of the norm of a regular HC just to be a HC.

I'd rather see a HC here that puts his foot down day one and at least gets to hire his own staff and not someone that has to coddle a booger-eater.
