Toss in that he was in over his head as a HC and our organization has a tendency to put even the more competent coaches and players we've had behind the eight ball.

I think that best case scenario we hire a more established coach as HC like McCarthy and the playcalling is better and we have 3-4 wins right now and we have more guys on the roster playing up to a higher level.

The bad thing about this staff is most of our guys are underperforming. When that happens, it can compound things.

So much for a coach 'coaching guys up.'
