So we got some fans repeating the same comments that started this loosing slide when they chose to run Shula out of town. Shula worked for a owner who was miser, endured some fairly horrible drafts that make Ireland look like a genuis and basically coached 2 teams that did nothing but win. He won some of those years because of a defence, other years running the ball and later basically with the West Coast offense before there was a west coast offense we have today littered rules to protect the QB and recievers. Every year was a given that we had home field advantage because the players were in shape and diciplined. Also let me add you just could not buy a team like you do today in the NBA and the NFL you had to develop your players you drafted. That being Shula was not afraid to try something new when the opportunity presented itself and yes he was one of the first to try free agency out. I was around and studied the drafts when we had under Marinio and Shula and they were piss poor compared to some of the medocre drafts many of the fans around here have complained about these past few years. Yea I am saying and have been saying the coaching has been the issue coaching has been the issue around here for quite awhile. Dansby goes to Arizona after leaving here and is all pro, Vonte Davis is ranked in the upper tier of cb's and we got rid of him not because of the GM who drafted him but because of a coach who did not want to coach him. Shula coached talent he did not let his ego dictate the talent he coached, so if I am not fond of getting rid a Pouncy or some other talented player because he does not fit some happy media profile I am fond of its because I have been around long enough to see real coaching make a difference and a huge difference when that coaching had real talent to coach.
I will agree with anyone on this site to when they can show that we are upgrading a position weather coaching or player but its get darn tiring to read about just changing to the flavor of the month.
