TC barely had any time to really put his stamp on things. Marrone and the coaching staff developed the guys that Caldwell brought in from 2014-2016. Most of our key players were guys Caldwell drafted or signed prior to TC showing up.

You can hate on Caldwell if you want... but to give all blame to him and all credit to Tom is asinine.

Disagree all you want but the facts are the facts.  When Tom was brought in as Vice President of operations he said himself he has final say on the roster and the coaches. Marrone is also a decent head coach and do believe he deserves credit. 

I gave Dave Credit but being a good Scout and running a team is 2 totally different things.   Does Dave Caldwell have an eye for talent?  Yes he does. 

Has Dave proven he can build a winning organization?  He HAS NOT.   It was his decisions to strip this team in 2013 while cutting some decent players who went on to have decent careers.  12 wins in 4 years is just flat out disgraceful.  The team was a laughing stock of the league under Dave Caldwell's leadership.

You aren't stating facts, you're stating opinions. Learn the English language before you use it.

You don't think he sold the idea of stripping the team down to Khan?
They even told fans at the very go it was gonna be rough.
I'd say Caldwell's plan was executed perfectly. Tear down roster, draft his guys, sign his guys.
Just because Tom Coughlin has final say doesn't mean he has first word. You don't know whose idea it was to draft player A or pursue player B. Dave could bring it up and Tom could give the thumbs up.
Perhaps Tom Coughlin was in Dave's ear and forcing his hand on selecting a RB at 4 overall (a move many of us, even after a great rookie campaign, don't quite agree with)

Coughlin isn't some magical fixer. You are so delusional you've become a meme of yourself for us all to laugh at on the board.

Coughlin in a matter of 6 months or so did sooooo much good (except... ya know, he didn't draft Jalen, ARobinson, Lee, Bortles, Linder, Jack, Smith... didn't have anything to do with signing Malik or Gipson, and honestly, with or without Coughlin we probably still land Calais and AJ because we had the money to make those splashes because of the work Caldwell did YEARS before Coughlin was ever getting kicked to the curb by the G-Men)
