There's no easy way out of this

DA in a nutshell is he is not a HC that elevates the team around him. SP was a HC that would. Give him a decent team and you'll get a decent team back give him a good team and you'll get a good team back. The issue is we do have a good, not great team, BUT we are decimated with injuries, and at very important positions. DA is NOT a HC that can begin to compensate with his coaching ability to overcome that
Had we not had this incredible amount of injuries at key positions we would not be having this conversation

Why wouldn't we? He's a losing coach; that's his MO. Great coaches find a way to survive through adversity, so the injury argument does hold water to me. This is who the deer is. We beat the worst team in the league and a questionable team in Dallas. I know you're not trying to make excuses for him, but I don't think we underrepresent how bad of a decision it was to hire such a bad coach, and Loomis knew he was a lousy coach but did it anyway.
