They haven't been hired b/c they are a collection of men whose talents do not rise to the level of the NFL. Kris Richard's reputation was made on the back of Pete Carrol. He flopped here and will now have to take a step down.
in Richards' defense, i thought he was short-changed and handcuffed by both management and his coaching staff that he inherited:
1- he had to work with the DBs that were already placed here before he arrived - to his credit look what he did to resurrect byrons' career move.
2 - Management (see Stephen) did him no favors by not being able to acquire Earl Thomas- i can understand balking at Seattle trade offer demands, but
once Earl was an UFA, Stephen low balled ET, and he was off to another pro bowl season with another NFL team per Ravens,
3- Richard (per JJT) was denied hiring of his own LB coach and was forced to work with Ben Bloom whom managed adored. Result internal conflict.
4 - the other side was also being forced to work with the mess Marinelli put in front of him with his assorted problems, (run gap issues, Taco pick, questionable, untimely sub packages, his low regards for the 1 tech role, etc.)
5 Never understood why HC- management did not give Richard full reins of handing whole defensive operation instead of this Marinelli DC, Richard play caller and pass game coordinator, etc. no wonder Matt Eberfus got outta town with the way team was handling this mess.
6- if there is so much mutiny and chaos among coaching staff, how do we expect players gonna continue to follow and respect their leaders ?.. and yes, that includes the main head overseer too.
