Must just be a coincidence we draft only these type of players.

Or worse, maybe there's something about this franchise...or this city...or both..that drives players away.

Granted, under a salary cap, you can't keep every marquee player you might draft.

But we could keep a lot more than we are.

TC came from a day and age where it had value to have everyone on edge all of the time, and he intentionally pissed them off constantly, and flouted the rules while demanding strict adherence to the rules.

People don't take to that crap now days, with good reason.  Instead, what used to work creates an almost across the board willingness to walk and see if someone else will be tolerable. 

In short, he made it so people did not want to come to work.  Some will take the cop out of "millennials" but the end result is that it drives good players away and builds apathy.
