Hands down the worst decision he made this offseason was moving on from Pollack to bring in Turner.  Of course that is easy for us to say at this point in the season with the way things stand now, but given his history and the way that whole saga played out in Miami, it isn't a leap to think that the struggles on this OLine might have something to do with him.

Again, it is easy to say so now, yet a well run organization would have meetings to make sure that the issue isn't Turner.  If it is Turner then Turner is gone, simple as that.  If it isn't Turner then find out what players and type of players that Turner needs and get them for him.  If he still can't get the job done with "his guys" then it is time to move on and get someone else.

I don't want it to seem that I am letting the players dictate who the coaches are, but if players refuse to play for the man then that is a big issue.  If the players don't care about his history or if it is only a few players, then you have to move on from those few players. 

For instance, if Glenn is the only one that has a issue with playing for Turner, then you trade Glenn as quickly as possible.  Don't just list him as out with a concussion, since many players have come back from concussions in 2-3 weeks.  Glenn doesn't want to play here, find out why and then address it accordingly.

I hope this organization does this, but from what I see and what is reported on, I don't think they are doing these things.

I feel like IF Taylor wasn't calling the plays...that we'd just want the Coordinators fired instead of him.

That said, he was brought in to be a modern offensive mind and seeing how he calls plays...it's obvious that he's not that. For him to succeed, they will need a great offensive coordinator and great defensive coordinator. Because Taylor isn't a talented enough coach to transcend that.

Or I guess we could get a HOF level QB that makes the entire franchise seem better...until they run him off.

You very well may have a great point on Turner. Perkins retired too. I'm confident that Boling retiring was medical though.

How did Jonah tear a rotator cuff during non contact drills too? That's never really been addressed.
