A bunch of things.
They hired a very inexperienced HC. That's a fact.
7 tries for a DC that nobody had ever heard of before he became our DC, lol. Everything about the Taylor hire/staffing/FA process was a reminder of who really runs this team and what it's philosophy is.
I got suckered in early. I thought we'd have Jack Del Rio as a DC playing the role of Wade Phillips. I thought Mikey would give Taylor a chance to get a few outside FAs or the caliber that Marvin got in 03. Wynn, Miller and Webb aren't those guys. They are roster backfill crap and a washed-out guard who got benched in Buffalo on a line almost as bad as ours.
Taylor seemed exciting when he was hired, but as the process went on he came off more and more as a patsy who's just happy to be one of 32 dudes to have a HC job in the NFL, even if it's on a second rate half-stepping team like this one. Firing Marvin was a half-measure. The roster is basically identical. Wash, rinse, repeat.
