Quote:I don't agree with your usage of scapegoat. Babich would be totally deserving of being canned. No "scapegoating" at all. He wasn't any good as DC with the Bears before coming here, was DEmoted from his perch back then, and he's still no good at it. Badly (love that haha) never should have hired him for that position. 

 

Since we really don't know to what degree Babich is calling plays according to what Gus has prepared him to call vs. certain offensive looks or situations  --  it's hard to be certain that he's the problem.

 

He might be a big part of the problem, he might be doing mostly what Gus would do, or he might be a victim of being forced to run a scheme that just sucks when 4 of your back 7 are not fit to be starters. 

 

Either way - he's the only coach  -at this point - that I'd be on board for a change being made.  If Caldwell can find someone that likes Gus' scheme but can help him tweak it to suit the roster - I'd be very happy.
