Mike thought that a new coach would stoke the excitement of the fans and bring back the crowds, but it didn't work.
They spent because the stadium was empty. I f Zac had any say then he would have signed a bunch of free agents in 2019. We had obvious holes all over our roster when he took over.
Which seems more logically realistic:
Mike all of a sudden wakes up, looks at the evidence and just decides to do something he always been opposed to, which is spending big time in free agency...something he simply doesn't believe in?
The new head coach, who's plan they've bought into, convinces them after a year of where the defense was horridly bad and the run D was all-time terrible, that they have to spend big in free agency?
The fact that it didn't happen in the 1st offseason makes me think it's the case even more. It may have taken Zac time to convince the ultra-stubborn Brown. If it was just Mike and the crew wanting to do it, why didn't they just do it after they hired a new coach?
