[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1083778, member: 17987"] The whole Gute vs LaFleur question is honestly a really tough one to me. Now, for starters, the bottom line for me is that [B]three playoff wins in 7/8 years simply isn't good enough.[/B] And I also am not willing to just say that we have been unlucky or snakebit or that we can just blame injuries for this record. There's some truth to some of those claims but they're largely cop-outs that don't adequately explain the matter. [B]BUT, [/B]the trouble for me is that I also don't think we can say "We always lose in the playoffs because of Gute's roster" just like I don't think we can say "We always lose in the playoffs due to coaching". Now in general...for most of the "Gute-Era," I would say that we have typically had teams/rosters that are "good enough" to compete with anyone and theoretically win it all. In many of these cases we can point towards coaching (either LaFleur himself "directly" or those under his responsibility like Drayton, Barry, etc). But, at the same time, I think back to Philly in the playoffs last year... Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly, but I don't feel like LaFleur just got absolutely outcoached by Sirianni... rather it felt like the Eagles were just far more talented/deep than us and we didn't have the players to hang with them. Bisaccia's ST units didn't help any (what else is new) but if you go back, much of the chatter was about how our early round investments in the draft haven't really paid off as well as we'd like, we have a lot of "#2s" but no clear #1 at WR, and just in general that we didn't have enough difference-making players. SO...there's a little blame both directions IMO. Overall if I absolutely HAD to divvy up "blame" between coaching staff and roster construction/GM, over the last 7-8 years I would say the responsibility/blame for our postseason record is probably like 35% GM, 65% coaching for me. Does that mean it's time to move on from one/both? I really have no idea lol [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
