[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 950333, member: 5830"] Drayton was down right terrible. There was a point where it seemed like things were improving, and then they all went from bad to terrible at the time that we all suspected - the playoffs. That said, I just find it hard to think that "anybody" could have gone in there and made it better. There is the very real possibility that things could get worse if somebody came in and tried to make changes mid-season. Then it also goes to my main question. Who would we get? The forum seems united on the "do not promote from within" mantra, so who is available? I imagine that it is a pool of inexperienced coaches not already on somebody's staff, or a coaching relic that nobody else wanted at the beginning of the season. It's a legitimate question. Making a change sounds good on the internet, but when you are the coach, what are your real options at that point? It sounded like LaFleur circled the wagons, asking all of his coaches to pitch in on special teams. It didn't work. Was hiring a newby or has-been the correct mid-season move? If you seriously don't know how it could have gotten worse, I'll just throw out some general dysfunction: - blocked punts or FGs in every game - the Packers could have given up multiple TD returns each game - the special teams could have blown blocking assignments on each reception leading to fumbles lost - we could have played with less than 11 players on multiple occasions Yes, it could have been worse despite your attempt at humor [/QUOTE]
