[QUOTE="milani, post: 1085115, member: 6654"] Good assessment. A sudden change in the HC can have an impact if a team is bad. A good team does not always improve unless personnel change. When Jimmy left the Cowboys they still won a SB with Darryl Royal as HC. But they aged after that and went downhill. I admit that MLF could improve his on field decisions and adjustments. But if he was a poor coach we would be 5-9 instead of 9-5. I still hold that our performance can be a result of 3 other factors: 1) Injuries: Some teams can perform with next man up. Some cannot. You rarely win a SB with 2nd stringers. And replacing several top players and Pro Bowlers in crucial positions just does not happen. We have certainly had them just like AZ, Detroit, and the Vikings. 2) Strength of Schedule: I know this is sometimes viewed as an excuse but it still can easily be the difference between winning and losing a game. Our 2023 schedule was relatively easy but although we were not that good we still managed to make the playoffs and win a game. Our 2025 team was stronger than the 2023 team but will not likely produce better results. 3) Experience: The adage to work smarter not harder does not apply to this team. 3 years running and the Packers are still the youngest team on paper. That means we have turned over players but replaced them with players that are just as young and just as inexperienced. Without McManus our age is younger yet. We added Banks and Hobbs which gives you some experience, but neither has produced. We either need a few more vets or we have to keep the same team intact for several more years to possibly get over the hump. I recall how George Allen hated rookies. He built the 1972 SB Skins around veterans. Only one year, but he did it. [/QUOTE]
