The closest thing you'll see to a game plan in the preseason will be next week, and even that will be vanilla for the most part.  They aren't going to open up the play book in the preseason and show the league what they want to do.  Coaching isn't the problem at this point.  Execution is.

While I agree with you, and im going to give Marrone till the end of the season, the execution part of this whole thing makes me concerned. A great teacher/coaches job is to teach a student how to execute something. Hearing Blake last week say something like "every rep is important, we've run the same play 1,000 times and we are still making mistakes." It seems like these guys aren't getting enough correct repetitions over time. Like 1/9 times they run a play in practice that is executed correctly

It's the preseason.  This is the time where you're instilling attention to detail, applying that on the field in practices, executing what you've been working on in game situations, adjust, rinse, and repeat.  Considering how disjointed the coaching was where there was no accountability, I would expect to see the coaching to focus on cleaning up the errors and getting ready for the regular season.  Preseasons are almost ALWAYS sloppy.  Fan expectation is never going to be adequately met in these games.  Unfortunately for fans, this is where coaches get the opportunity to see what will work and what won't with the personnel on the field, and then to come up with a plan of action to address those areas. Let's wait and see what happens when they count.
