So seriously, what the [BLEEP] happened? (Merged)

#38

It started last year.

There was way too much 'me-first' mentality on this roster. Coaches let players do their thing, or sit on the sideline and not do anything, and the cancer of disrespect started spreading. Winning cures all ills. When we are winning, and the coaches bark motivation, instruction and strategy at the team, they pay attention. When that winning goes away, players begin to doubt, dismiss, or completely ignore what their coaches are saying.

We started the cleanup last season (RB coach and all but 1 RB let go), but at that point, the dismissal of all leadership was set in. You may have guys like Campbell, Fournette and such that are going to keep pushing through and trying to get something working, but the chasm between players and management is too big to overcome.

Look at Jack's ejection early in the year. He was consciously fighting with all coaches and staff trying to get him off the field, refusing to listen to anyone. What did the coaches do to reign that in? Campbell was the one to walk him off the field, and that's not his job. Unfortunately, he's the only guy Jack was willing to listen to.
The whole Ramsey thing was a snowball of issues between leadership and player and one or both sides refusing to find common enough ground to work things out.
The decision to put Foles in over Minshew. Players' effort changed when Minshew came back. You can't tell me guys didn't have more confidence in his abilities. If the players see the coaches making choices that put them at a disadvantage as a team, how are they going to get behind the next decision leadership makes?

This is the embodiment of the phrase, 'cut the head off, and the whole body dies.' Nobody on the team cares what the head is doing, so the body is nothing more than collective decay.
