Coaches are geniuses when they win and morons when they don't.
Yes, but typically not thought of as morons because of their race, unless...
(not directed at you, Green Shirt)
So, you thought he was unqualified and incompetent because of his race back then too?
I love seeing all the other Patriots fans get bandwagon whiplash the last three weeks.
The thing about the Tomlin hire that's interesting is how well Bruce Arians has worked out in Arizona. He was Pitt's OC of course and actually got along with Ben. Arians was more or less pushed out at Pitt, or at least that's how the media read the situation. It was a little bit odd.
Tomlin fits the bill - a young DC who shot up the ranks, but he is no Cowher. Still, the problems are broader and deeper than Tomlin. They've had a number of players get old at the same time and they've simply not replaced them with equivalents. It's hard to do when you win two Super Bowls.

Yep. They spent a few years in cap hell, and they've been good enough to not have a really great draft position for several years. They've also had some really awful contracts to deal with, which has limited roster flexibility -- and that's on the front office, not the coaching staff.
Even more bandwagon whiplash this week for New England. Fans are going to spend the week deciphering the mixed messages of yesterday's game. They lost two of their key players for the season, but they won, but it was by the skin of their teeth against a terrible team at home.
As a Dolphins fan watching last night's game and trying to figure out what team to root for was like trying to pick which one of your pets you want to throw in the woodchipper.
I was fervently hoping it would end in a 0-0 tie that would somehow be counted as a loss for both teams.

It's been sad since post 2002 Super Bowl. Still think Firing Hue Jackson was a huge mistake, but the new GM wanted his own guy. Felt like going back to square one.
"Recent?" They've been a joke for a decade.
Yeah, and I felt like, based on what I remember, that Tom Cable had them at least playing reasonably solid fundamentals. They've been a mess from the top down for a long time, the antithesis of the NYG and Pittsburgh, really.
Possibly. I just meant that the ownership has been stable where it has not been with the Raiders.
When a team loses cohesion that badly, they are in real trouble.
Ah, yes.

It's certainly a sign that the coaching staff is losing the locker room, which doesn't bode well for the remainder of the season. It's not terribly surprising to me; Trestman bounced around from team to team for like a decade, and then decided to go to the CFL (where he lucked out in having probably the greatest QB who never played in the NFL) -- it's a pattern that really screams "massive personality issues." I was impressed with how he turned shit into gold with McCown last year, but I'm getting more and more disillusioned. Cutler isn't the problem with that team.
