So a coach can't evolve? A coach can't get better with experience? Was the Bill Belichick that coached Cleveland the same guy that coached New England? Coaches can get better, can learn from their mistakes, especially coaches with no head coaching experience.He's been "involved" for years. This year is distinctly different because of a change in philosophy and the discipline to stick with it. Linehan has demonstrated that discipline.
You said he was in charge. Coaches who are in charge make all in-season decisions regarding the team and control the flow of information. Garrett can't. He only hired an OC because he was told to. In fact we've seen time and again where Jerry expressed anger on his radio show and Garrett changes accordingly the very next week.
To quote Garrett: "Jerry can do what he wants, he owns the team."
It's easy to say that, but we've seen dramatic changes on this team in offensive play design and play-calling that have made for a huge change in efficiency. It makes much more sense that these changes come from a new OC than the guys who ran the show and kept calling passes when his running back was averaging 7.7 yards per carry and his team led by 21 points. Disasters vs. Detroit, GB, Denver-- that team (run by Garrett) is GONE now. What changed?
Jerry is a media whore. He likes to be out front. Garrett likes to coach. When practice is going on he's in charge, not Jerry. When the game is going on he's in charge.
How do you know Garrett isn't responsible for the change in philosophy on offense? Why is it the guy who called the plays for the pass happy Lions who is responsible for us running the ball more?
Do you know who said Kiffin should be demoted and Marinelli should be DC?
So what you are saying is Garrett is a figurehead? He does absolutely nothing? Think about that for a minute. It makes no sense.
