Coaching can get you going, yes. But if your players aren't actually as good as your coaching is, that'll be exposed at some point and it was during the playoff game and then the entire season following it and ever since.

Good point, Mr. Lou_Zare. But people seem to forget that we were an injury-plagued team last year. There were also the highly unusual circumstances surrounding the off-season ... no camp for the rookies at all.
One of the things I liked about Haley was that he took calculated risks. I know that's not going to sit well with everybody, but he went into the season thinking that the team would have to start slow and build momentum due to the lack of practice time ... and equally importantly, the lack of conditioning work. It wasn't a bad plan, but the injuries blew it up. Losing Jamaal was an offense killer.
People can color history with their favorite crayon, and that's fine. But, it's amazing to me how people can absolutely re-invent facts ... not interpret the same facts differently ... just completely ignore some and fabricate new ones.
It's kinda frustrating, to tell the truth.
