FBT, I too was trying to be patient. Foles was coming back, let's see if the first quarter (ish) of game 1 was a preview, or just a few good plays in a row.

Sadly, the offense appears vanilla, and if Fournette goes down, the offense disappears completely. However, the offense cannot account for the mismanagement on defense. If Doug refuses to do something to address the problem, it now becomes something that Dave or Tom have to address.

I like the idea of canning Doug, and letting Joe D take over the HC duty. Send Wash packing, and let Capers try his hand with the roster. This is their interview, dress rehearsal, call it what you want. The continual cycle of losing and lethargy has to be broken. Try hard isn't all we need.

We need someone who is going to light a fire under the feet of the underperformers. Someone who is going to put players in positions to succeed. We need to see if the players are receptive to new voices in the locker room and practice fields. I don't see the reason to let Doug and Todd play out the season, especially if we are looking for replacements come January.
