[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1429064, member: 9817"] This is 100% the problem. Lovie has appeared to lose the team in multiple appearances (Minnie being a pleasant surprise). For a defense minded coach, we've shown zero initiative, we've been passive and we've given up MASSIVE yardage and tons of points. The improved offense is meaningless in these games and their performance often reflects that. I agree that if you get rid of Lovie you show a program willing to trash the staff after only two recruiting seasons. So who can you even hire? When you do hire that staff how many recruits do you lose? How many players transfer? Then what are you left with? Another roster with holes everywhere and either a retread coach that failed elsewhere or a no name that can't bring the talent. If I look at the above you are 100% forced to stick with Lovie (probably the best alternative) and fix the freaking defense. The only option I see that doesn't involve ANOTHER four year rebuild is a home run DC hire that takes a hard look at the other coaches on that side of the ball. Does anyone disagree with that? If so, can you provide your logic? I'm trying to find a bright side (any bright side). [/QUOTE]
