In that time there have been two 12-4 seasons with a 13-3.11 years of Garrett stench on this team. 11.
No it hasn’t been great and no it’s not up to standard for what this franchise has with resources.
But let’s not act like it’s been 11 years of 5-11.
Marvin Lewis is the same in the AFC for Cincy and they’re doing well this year.
Garrett is actually what you’d want in a CEO. Intelligent, good motivator and love for the organization.
He needs to reinvent himself ala Andy Reid and get more aggressive to compete in today’s NFL but the tone of the franchise is solid. Andy Reid never threw the ball down the field like he is now with Mahomes. McNabb and Smith were both dink and dunk.
To me it’s Stephen that while he has restrained Jerry from making bad moves like Manziel, he’s also put a little too much stock in being risk adverse. Thus the WR core isn’t very good. Now we’ll see next offseason if the restraint pays off when they’re not up against the cap.
The schemes are run by coordinators with input from HC on overall direction. The direction of relying on an OL week in and week out is not as secure as they’d hoped. When it doesn’t work there’s not an easy plan B. That’s the part that needs to be tweaked. Have it where if the OL dominates you can maul people but if it’s not working like last week there’s other options.
The FO tries to be like the Patriots by cutting guys too soon. The coaching staff is the opposite of the Patriots by being too stubborn to change schemes from week to week.
People say Garrett’s been HC for 8 years but in reality it’s been two stints of 5 and 3. Changing QBs who are drastically different changes the whole team.
That’s basically a long way of saying overall I’d give him a C+.
I want him to do well but totally understand and would support the decision to move on if the team finishes 9-7 or worse and no playoffs.
