Adjustments (Or Lack There Of)

With Alexander the system could remain the same so the players will not have to relearn a new system. After the season is over offer Josh McDaniel or Scott Lineham the Head Coaching job (Jon Gruden is available but been there, done that). The draft should concentrate heavily on the OL and additional LBs. A top flight TE should also be a priority (Eifert is done). With the youth of the overall team a new Head Coach should be able to implement a new system and mold the team accordingly.

Hiring Paul Alexander as HC and tasking him to develop anyone would be a terrible, terrible decision by the franchise.

He was hired under Dave Shula. He's been here so long that he is the living embodiment of everything wrong with the organization.

You lost me at wanting to promote Alexander the Great. He's a horrible OLine coach that shouldn't be employed in the NFL. The guy is a joke. If he wasn't close, personal friends with the Brown family, he'd have been fired many years ago. He's been with the team 25 years. All the proof you need is to look at our OLine this season. They're garbage. The NFL has long since passed Alexander the Great by.

I don't know how much it would have mattered, because Marvin ALWAYS seems to stick his nose in the Offensive game plan when we get a lead and goes ultra conservative.  He's the epitome of a "play not to lose" coach.

Still, given the circumstances, 17 points out of the offense was a good effort considering the change of coordinators a week ago.  We had a 7 point lead with 3 minutes left, and you'd like to hope the D(the strength of the team), could hold them out of the endzone.

Great post. Lazor hopefully gets more of his playbook installed as the year goes on and Marv stays out of his bidness.

To be fair to the Defense, it is Aaron Rodgers and if the Offense helped them out more in the 2nd half by not taking their
foot off the gas we would of won. Marv has done this with every OC we have ever had, this is not a coincidence.

For sure, just do something different for God sake. This is so painfully obvious anymore.
