But to respond to your post, I often see fans call for the firing of the GM AND the HC, which makes no sense.  Either the coach is being given the talent and he is not maximizing it, or the GM is failing to stock the roster with adequate talent.  It's one or the other.   It cannot be both at the same time.

I guess I just repeated what you said.

Actually no.

It is quite possible to have both a bad coach and a bad GM at the same time, as evidenced by bad GM Gene Smith and bad coach Mike Mularkey, and any number of combinations on Cleveland, Detroit, and Miami.

That said, consistent with my early defense of Bradley, you usually can't tell if a coach is bad without first giving him talent to be competitive.  Early on, Bradley didn't demonstrably aveh that level of talent until 2016.

I also don't think both positions are bad, though neither are perfect.
