I just find it so hard to believe all these coaches through the years just suck? How can so many fail to produce? There always seems to be a disconnect between the front office and our coach as Kane suggested. Why? 

Maybe the problem has always been poor choices in the front office. I find that easier to accept than all of these coaches failing over and over...

I think it's a combination of failures. 

I definitely do see evidence of this F.O. going quite out of its way to provide coaches with players suited to the stated scheme and concept of the staff/HC.  Sometimes those players just aren't good enough, sometimes the scheme is limited, sometimes the players aren't developing out of coaching failure, sometimes the players are talented and executing poorly. 

For me - I feel coaches failing to get the most out of players scheme-wise,  AND coaches failing to develop certain position groups are the biggest culprits of the Marrone era. 

If you look around the league and the timelines of various coaching hires, you will find that there are periods for every team wherein they suffered through multiple failed HC hires.  It's not too uncommon, but man it stinks to be on the verge of beginning the cycle again with several games remaining in the current season.

We haven't had decent coaching since JDR.
Like legit. Even during our one good year in 2017, people had plenty of complaints (fans and players) about scheme usage and play calling.

That's a long time.
We're starting to look like Browns South. Failed QB after failed QB, crap coach after crap coach, a couple good defenses wasted through those years.

I can't think of 4 franchises that have been worse from top to bottom with how they were run, rostered, and coached over the last decade or so.
And I ain't gonna lie, I thought we were turning the corner after Caldwells second draft, and I thought we had reached a point of reload and continue being competitive after 2017.
But we've literally had 2 good seasons in forever (07, 17) and after each we fell off a cliff.

If this current FO (Tom and Dave) didn't double down on its QB mistakes and Doug stick with Wash after years of players complaining about him and his scheme, how much different could this year be, we all are left wondering.
