At the end of the day, the blame falls upon the incompetent owner. He has owned the team for 10 years, and keeps repeating the same mistake over and over again.
All of his Head Coaching hires have had no prior experience has an HC. He keeps doing the same failed cycle.
Sparano - OLine coach promoted to Head Coach.
Philbin - OC that did not call his own plays, promoted to Head Coach.
Gase - OC that made a name for himself working with Peyton Manning, promoted to Head Coach
Flores - Linebackers coach promoted to Head Coach.
All these hires have the same thing in common, they got promoted to HC with no prior experience at this level. They were all in over their heads as an HC.
Flores with no experience at his current position, goes out and hires
Patrick Graham as DC, no prior experience has DC
Flores hires Chat O'Shea as OC, no prior experience as OC.
I expected to get beat handily by Baltimore today. However in the manner we were demolished from the 1st snap until the last snap was just pure embarrassment. What I saw from this team today was a complete lack of preparation, lack of effort, lack of hustle, same penalties over and over, out coached in every phase, no in game adjustments made by any of our coaching staff, I could go on but I will leave it at that. I saw a HC that to this point, clearly is not ready to be a HC.
So here we sit again in 2019, although in a rebuilding year we are staffed by the top 3 guys all with no prior experience at their respective positions. Its a proven recipe for failure. Even if we have a good draft the next couple of years. Is this a coaching staff that is really going to take us into the playoffs and make a run at a title? I believe that when you have 3 top guys that have a combined experience of ZERO at their respective positions, the answer is most likely going to be no.
I still think that until Stephen Ross either sells the team, or hires a front office executive with a proven successful track record in that position, this organization will keep repeating the same cycle every 3-5 years with the same results. If we are doing a complete rebuild, it should include cleaning house of all prior front office executives and it should trickle down to cleaning house of coaches.
We need people with experience and some sort of past success as a GM/Front office executive. Ross has the money, he doesn't seem to be able to figure out that important step. At the end of the day, Ross is gutless and keeps people around who are unqualified at the positions he hires them for. His move of "reassigning" Mike T was a prime example of how gutless he is. He did not want to come out and say they fired him. When you have a weak owner, you are going to have a weak organization. Stephen Ross is the main problem and his incompetence and weakness has set this franchise back decades.
