Garrett could step up this year but as of right now anyone with any sense understands we haven't had a good enough HC since 2007, all the way up to now.
It's awfully fuzzy math to say the failures from 2007-2010 were on the HC but in 2010 suddenly the OL was the problem. And that just coincidentally coincides with when Garrett took over. It reeks of an agenda.
The team hasn't been perfect or even close to it at any point since 2007, but the coaching since that time hasn't been nearly good enough either.
It is quite funny to waive off the failures of a much more successful time period as a failure of the HC, but take a much less successful subsequent period and absolve the HC from that latter period due to the failures of the OL.
Here's something that gets sometimes swept under the rug about the Wade era: his last two years, the OL was also pretty bad. I would put that 2009 playoff loss to Minnesota squarely on the OL. I've seen very few games in my life where an OL has played worse. And it wasn't good when Wade was fired in 2010 either. And that's not even mentioning the fact that Garrett was in large part responsible for half of the successes and failures in Wade's era.
Wade was rightfully fired. He wasn't good enough. But let's not act like Garrett has had so much less to work with and we therefore can't evaluate him fairly. It's just simply bullshit.
