It's not hard to see that the team is much better than last year.

 

It's also not hard to see that the coaching has left alot to be desired based on the games we've played and how we've performed.

 

What apparently is hard is for people to understand that the talent being better and the coaching still being poor are not events that must be mutually exclusive.

 

You can have both.  As a matter of fact, we are seeing both.  We are seeing Dave Caldwell bring in better talent.  We are then seeing a coach that is not able to get the most out of the talent in order to win.  It's not that hard to figure out, in my opinion.
