That seems to be the solution because many feel this team is underachieving for the talent level and I partially agree, they should be 6-3 with a win over NYJ.
The majority of the blame goes to Garrett, and I can't argue that he's not a great HC and not really even good as a sideline coach, with a little left over for Marinelli but what seems to be missing are the real culprits in this crime, if you really think this team is the most talented in the NFC.
What about the players? The missed blocks and tackles, the basic fundamentals of the game. All off season, I asked that you keep in mind execution when evaluating Young Kellen and that also applies to Marinelli and Richard.
Put yourself in any coach's shoes on this team. The GM keeps the HC around for his own comfort level, if the Joneses insinuate there's an issue it's more coaching than the players and in fact make excuses for them and every player on that team knows who they really play for because he's around all the time to remind them of that. They don't see their coach as the spokesperson of the team as the other 31 teams do, they see the guy that signs their checks. The guy that doesn't hold them accountable.
Add to this all of these talk shows calling for Garrett's head and who conveniently slides out of view? The players. Just as they did back when that "reliable source" stuff with Werder was going on. A very convenient attention diversion from one of the real problems, player execution and mental mistakes.
I still do not think Garrett gets his ticket punched on the 3:10 to Yuma but if he does, there will be much celebration here that the wicked witch is dead but is he the real wicked witch? Think he's the one enabling and excusing players not doing their jobs?
