one and done in the playoffs.
The players are having fun again. its contagious.
Lewis was ridgid and to the players it probally felt going to a job.punching a clock.
but deep inside as they did their best they knew things werent going to change under Lewis
No matter how,many slogans Lewis made on shirts like " do your job with a shovel"
or " thank the lunch lady" it didnt change things.
I mean how could Marvin sell his vision and accomplishments to the players.
"hey gang I have 7 playoff appearences........." but no Super Bowl appearence...
Taylor has revived the players spirit.
that you cant over emphasize.
Not only were the 0-7 in the playoffs, but that 7th loss was in epic meltdown fashion. It was blatantly clear. I'm sure it's always in the back of players minds.
For Marvin's sake, I'd love to see him coach another team like the 49ers or someone to see if he could win with different management. I think he can. I'm not so sure we'll see it.
