Pretty much this.This is 100 percent on Jerry. Ware is in decline and we have no pass rush. We gave Carr big money to be a shutdown corner and he's been avg at best. Lee is always hurt and the dline besides Hatcher are backups. You have backups on the line and backups at safety and we are getting shredded.
The guy just doesn't provide an environment that anyone can succeed in. We had one of the greatest head coaches to ever coach the game come here, and he couldn't get over the hump either. He undermines by creating a circus/hollywood atmosphere that coaches have to fight against to try to establish a better culture, he is horrendous at picking personnel, and he has no long term coherent vision that is worth a damn as he's constantly switching organizational philosophies, thereby creating an instability that fosters losing (switching from 3-4 to 4-3 for no good reason, picking a defensive coordinator who is 73 and thus very short term, and having him try to coach Zone to the press corners you just spent a fortune on the last offseason, letting your head coach spend primo assets on gadget players in the 2nd round and then not using them).
There's no rhyme or reason to any of it. Everything is disjointed from the top, and it trickles down. And it shows on the field. No coach will be able to correct this mess, ultimately, because it goes over their head. Maybe a couple more regular season wins or a playoff win here or there, but this team will never truly contend with things the way they are, unless Jerry seriously changes. And good luck with that.
