The receiving corp, outside of Bowe, was fairly awful. Bowe had a career year but it's not like it was "Out of the Blue". He'd been a 1,000 yard receiver with Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen as his QB.
The running backs were misused all year long.
With that in mind, I could have easily seen Haley dismiss Muir, Parmalee and Carthon, yet Muir was promoted.

You can't put Albert fully on Muir. If you really want to blame someone, blame Haley because he made BA slim down and play OT a different way than he did his rookie year. I think Haley was justified because Albert's ceiling playing the old way wasn't that high. I thought the last few games his second year he made great strides but for whatever reason that didn't carry over this year. It could have been coaching, or it could have been it was because BA had a nagging injury that got worse throughout the year which was why he looked so slow the last two games. As for Richardson, I don't understand why people on here can't grasp that maybe he just isn't very good and there was a reason, despite his size and athleticism, he fell to the middle rounds.
Look, maybe you're right, maybe Bill Muir is a terrible o-line coach. Maybe he falls asleep during games and forgets to coach. Maybe he makes the team watch 1920's silent movies when they should be studying film during the week. I don't know. I am not around the team that much anymore. The thing I don't understand is how everyone here has such strong reactions to this move yet they know so little about the guy. By all accounts he is pretty respected around the NFL.
