I would say it's pretty clear that even if the locker room hasn't quit (or, more accurately, they decided to show up and give Kessler a chance in his first game), Marrone has lost control of it. There are lots of strong personalities on defense, and he hasn't shown the ability to control them during periods of adversity. If a coach can't control the locker room, you've got the wrong coach.

Agreed there are lots of strong personalities on defense.

As I think about the past two seasons, sometimes I wonder if this group on defense, for whatever reason, had too much success too suddenly.  I wonder if this team was not mature enough to handle the success, and I wonder if Marrone and company were caught off guard by it because of how the team handled the success down the stretch last year.

The really dumb penalties and spectacularly blown assignments simply weren't there last year-certainly not to the extent we've seen this year.

I don't know how much of that are guys not focusing (maturity), how much of that is guys trying too hard to make a play and not sticking to the scheme.

But I sincerely hope Marrone has not lost the locker room.

There are always going to be people on the staff that it isn't fair to fire, but our constant cutting one limb at a time off of the beast is a large part of the problem.

Could you elaborate?
