People often cite Ross as a guy that was falsely held accountable as a rookie...but I'd cite his play in Year 2 as an example that the coaching staff knew what they were doing. He likely wasn't ready to play Year 1.

The bottom line is coaches put on the field who they think will help the team win. It's simple, they want to win so they can keep their job.

I dunno, I seem to recall Paul Guenther going into the bye and ripping the defense a new one a couple of years ago, and talking about shaking up the lineup if things didn't go the way he wanted them to.  Then Marvin rebuked all that he said......seems kinda "no accountability-ish" to me.
