What if I told you that we might be re-living the Mike Ditka era?

I think this resembles more the end of the Mora era. Even though Mora was a much better coach than Allen, he hung onto Carl Smith and eventually just lost the team.

Want a redo of the Ditka years? Hire Gruden. Old, outdated, etc.

I would say this is the more apt comparison because it’s the franchise still clinging to the Payton Era.
