The undesirable but most likely reality.

This is outstanding perspective. No one is any good without the right circumstances…

The GREAT Bill Belichick was unsuccessful without Tom Brady and so far, the Great Sean Payton has been unsuccessful without Drew Brees.

This is a player driven league! Good players need a good coach to reach the top…. Good coaching still can’t win without players.

If we played a team with A rookie 5th round pick or 2nd year 4th round pick at QB, no interior Oline, no receivers, we would blow a gasket if we lost to that team but we expect to win with that team or the coach gets fired.

Now I’m talking about it like I’m advocating for DA… I AM NOT but I am criticizing the idea that firing everyone is the answer to fix all problems.

We were a good team til the injuries hit.

I don't totally disagree, but good to great coaches have teams that play better than their talent. For instance, in his last year here Payton went 9-8 with a team with no QB, no real WRs, and decimated by injury at a level close to this year. And frankly, the Broncos team he has now has no business being 4-3 and are only at that level because he's a great coach. The Saints, if healthy, have significantly more talent than those Broncos. And frankly, if DA was a better coach this team would have won one of if not both the Philly and Atlanta games.

This season would be totally different if they won one or both of those games. It's why I don't think the injury excuse works for DA. At that time we were mostly just down McCoy and we had great chances to win those game, and probably should have won those games, but didn't. And that's a pattern for DA that needs to come to an end.
