My apologies if this doesn't deserve its own thread and mods do with it as you wish if it doesn't.

 

I and others have been vocal of displeasure with both OC and DC positions.  The coaching, in my eyes, has been subpar across the board.  It's not all about the numbers (though those are certainly bad too) but the consistently poor play, players looking lost, the soft coverage on defense, the short passing play calls on offense, all around it's been below average.  Some players seem to have regressed, Gratz being one example.  He wasn't a world-beater last season but he's been flat out bad when he's been on the field this season.

 

I don't like Fisch's offense.  The plays remind me of a college offense.  A short to occasionally intermediate passing game that might excel at a college level where you have discrepancies in talent at the skill positions from team to team.  You don't have that, to that extent, in the NFL.  This is another situation where I don't even have to look at the numbers, the play and the play calling has been bad.  We're a full season and 5 games into it.  If it hasn't changed by now I don't see it changing.  I don't see a lot of adjustments either way, offense or defense, that lead me to believe great success is coming.

 

I'm curious for those that think Fisch and Babich are good enough, what leads you to think that?  What about their coaching do you see as a positive?  What have you been impressed with, from either side, that makes you think they shouldn't be upgraded?  Help me out here, I'm hoping this leads to good discussion and not name calling back and forth and a bunch of drivel.
