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.

Good post and I believe this is Marvin's biggest downfall ! He's says this is what we're going to do and by gawd we're gonna do it. Come hell or high water we're running it this way and to hell with any compromise or suiting what our players do well.

He's even said it before. "If these players can't do it my way, we'll get better players"
