This thread serves as an example of why I am so perplexed that some individuals continue to focus on the coaching staff, with regards to fixing the overall problem this team has.
The contention of some of these individuals is that the atmosphere was too relaxed, therefore insinuating that the inmates are running the asylum.
I ask you, wasn't the atmosphere the exact opposite last year under Bill Parcells? Did he not keep the players on edge week after week? Wasn't Bill Parcells' tactics predicated on fear and intimidation?
So when you dissect the two regimes, you have two polar opposites when observing how they interacted with their players. Furthermore, even though their coaching styles were totally different, you still got similar results.
Based on this observation, one really is compelled to look at the players and their attitudes as the real problem as opposed to the Coaching Staff.
