The next head coach is inheriting a mess

That was one of the most frustrating things about Allen. He came into a situation that is atypical for new head coaches. The team was going downhill, but it was still competitive. It got so much worse under his regime, He didn’t carve the turkey; he let it spoil. Now, we have the customary disaster that usually confronts new head coaches.

Yep. I've never been a fan of tear downs in the NFL, and I do think this team has more talent than the average rock bottom team, but at this point we don't really need to do a tear down. Our expensive players are older guys that are either going to retire or have their contracts expire in a year or two.

Still, the NFL is designed for parity so every team is one or two good drafts and a good head coach away from being competitive.
