Yeah… On admitting he’s part of the problem, though, when you fire just about everyone else it kind of feels like you’re pointing the finger at others, not at yourself. However, what is he going to do? Other than fire himself, not sure how he would show that humility. Ah well…I think Woody SHOULD have fired AG, much like the Pats did with Mayo after a bad year, but we can’t do much about that. All we can do is hope that AG learned a few things, that these new coaches are better than the guys they are replacing, and that we go on from here.
The way I see it, yeah, keeping him was a peak of stupidity, but it would have been even more stupid for Glenn to quit and lose 40 mil. So with him staying a given, I am actually glad the he is fundamentally changing his coaching staff. He is trying something different. That takes balls. Calling plays on defense was the right move. Literally every coach who can call plays - does it in today's NFL. Including the SB winning coach calling plays on defense. Glenn is no MacDonald, but he did call average or top 10 defense in his last two years in Detroit. It's not impossible to be average there. I also like Reich, given the options we had, and the way Reich is building his staff, we are infusing young analytical talent to compliment old OC. We still need to make a good QB coach hire. But so far so good there. Of course chances of success are small based on the coaching Glenn showed so far, and with no shot at good QB, it's an uphill battle. Chances are we are going to be back on the tank by October, but he is doing everything differently now, which I respect, and you just never know until you play the games... Let's see how it plays out.
Agree with your response. We can only go so far without a top QB, but I do expect significant progress on both side of a ball, and some sort of a roadmap to get a better hold your fort QB now and draft our long term solution.
