The second coach isn't particularly good. Did Caldwell keep Bradley on or was it the owner? Was Marrone a Caldwell hire or was it Coughlin? Personally I think Caldwell's work has been very good, because the players are, again, highly praised coming in and then -poof- they go in the tank. And the one thing he doesn't control, and what everyone wants to fire him for, is what happens once he gets them here. If this roster were given to someone like Carroll, or Reich, McVay, or Payton we'd be a dynasty. Instead we got Bobblehead and Bologna Marrona. Ain't no roster winning with that and we all know it.

It takes many systems of failure to get the results we have had since Caldwell was hired as GM. 

It's not *just* coaching , nor is it *just* the FO. Both have done very poor jobs from 2013 to present day

It rolled into 2017 with some solid drafts and the cap under control and caught several lucky breaks (schedule, injuries to other team's QBs, no injuries here) on the way to the AFC title game which the incompetent Balogna Marrona (likely a Coughlin hire) blew by sitting on a lead in Foxboro.

Had they left well enough alone with Caldwell, we'd be fine.

It was all Coughlin- lousy coaching hire, unhappy players, people walking on eggshells and the brink of cap hell again.
