I just stunned at how its suddenly going to change. The Oline will block, the run game suddenly works, Washs Zone magically stops everything. Its fairytales. I hope the ST sales fall through the floor.

And guys, unless we have the #1 pick next year, we arent getting Lawrence, no matter how many draft picks we throw. What GM is going to pass him up? 

This team is on a knife edge. A good draft, some smart FA additions and coaching and we could be a playoff challenger, another bad draft and guys leaving and it's full blown rebuild time.

And weve doubled down on Caldwell and Marrone. 

I don't think it was all Coughlin, but I'm pretty sure the toxic environment can be put on his back, because Marrone and Caldwell seem like player friendly guys. Marrone didn't coach differently this year, we got the same guy, so I don't think we'll get anything different next year either.

I agree that Coughlin had an influence through the franchise but him going and the rest staying sends the message HE was the problem. I dont agree with that. They all have their fingerprints on this mess.

Coughlin came in to install some rules and accountability. Remember the ping pong table in the dressing room? But the players loved it. This team needs to learn how to win in October and Novermber. This year we stumbled to 4-4, still very much in it for the South. We lose the next 5 by 17+. 

And I agree, this time next year we will be a 5-6 win team. And what happens if we get the injury bug? That's not Marrones fault....
