And exactly what tells you we have the right head coach in place? (since you are using the selection of head coaches as your measuring stick for Jerry)

His .500 career coaching record?

His game management problems?

His inability to call any plays to counter a blitz?

Seriously, what in the world have you seen that makes you think we finally have the right coach in place? And please give an actual reason, not that "they play hard and never quit".

I am sure the players in Chicago played hard and never quit either, still didnt stop Lovie from getting fired, so apparently this is not an indication that you have the right head coach in place, just because the players play hard and dont quit.

I got a tiny smidgen of hope when Jerry brought in Coach Callahan to be the o-line coach. But if Jerry's capable of ignoring it this year, he's capable of ignoring a sledge hammer to a foot.

You are right. When did it become a sign of a great coach if his players don't quit? Is this what our expectations have come to? A player quitting has nothing to do with the coach. It just shows poor character on the players part. Garrett has done nothing to prevent these players from quitting. Each player makes that decision on his own. I guess after the Wade debacle, having a team that doesn't quit is some accomplishment for this team.

I hate to tell the fans, but there are coaches at all levels that have teams that don't quit. Many of these coaches can manage a clock and make adjustments to blitzing better than Garrett. The players that quit on Wade should have been cut. They have no heart and quit again.

GMs are responsible for managing the quality of the rosters, position by position, and paying out contracts to match the players' talent and productivity at those positions.

What do think the answer to your question is? Mine is a simple "YES!"

Free plays good at RT two years ago so there was no reason to expect him to be the disaster he was last year. So you want to blame Jerry for that? Wow.

It fits his anti-Jerry agenda.
