I think your point above is wishcasting.
The team went through another "awesome" training camp last year, only to derp on the field starting with Grupe missing a chip shot win against the Packers. Then we had the Carr yelling at his receivers, and Olave street racing, Baun fumbling his int., Moreau dropping an easy GW TD against Jack that ended up costing us a wild card. This is not a team who has "institutional control" from their head coach. Who decided that Pete deserved another year as OC last year? That's a wasted season. Close it all off with the B- grade that ranked 28th, with the other 4 coaches being canned. And no, no points for closing out the season with wins. Haslett won his last 4 games in whatever year, and that was a mirage.
Right now he's the coach we have, and we'll all hope that Kubiak can help, that Carr will settle down in year 2, that they can draft wisely, not with their egos. But until that point, DA's record is who he is. No wins get given for people believing the perception that the players and the locker room like the guy. In one breath players will say publicly they like their coach. In their next breath they'll tell their agents - get me out of here as fast as you can and get me to a team with a better QB and better HC.
