How far away is this team from being consistent playoff team?

I believe Kahn has begun to understand that.

At the end of the day football is a physical game. Anyone who tells you different is blowing smoke up your skirt. Facing someone like this I would put one hand on my wallet, keep my back to the wall and politely excuse myself. On 3rd and 1 whoever is the biggest, baddest and more physical wins.

Really? 

So you think Rooney is telling Tomlin what scheme to run? 
You think Sheila Ford is telling Dan Campbell what his coaching philosophy should be? 
You think the Hunt family sat down Andy Reid and told him what he'd do differently in KC opposed to Philly? 

I think the typical methodology is for an owner to hire a GM he trusts well enough to lead the HC hiring process and convince the owner of who the right coach would be for their roster and its development/augmentation. 

Then that coach should absolutely be left to bring their vision of the team to reality. 
If they can't - you got the wrong coach or couldn't get him enough viable pieces. 

Having an owner dictate to a FO and coach what the team's identity is going to be sounds like a Jerry Jones and Jim Irsay prescription drug fueled nightmare.

What we have here is a GM who wants to dictate to the coach what the identity will be and he drafts and signs players that aren't always the best fit. If, as is being reported, Neilsen was a Trent hire rather than a Pederson one that all the more shows how the GM wants to really be the head coach.
