In most cases, those young players were not put in position to succeed, and they weren't learning the necessary fundamentals to succeed.
Had we continued to allow Herman ****ing Edwards and his staff to "coach" these players, they would never have realized their potential, and the foundation that you claim he put into to place would have been nothing more than an illusion.
And because he failed these players, that foundation will still most likely prove to be an illusion.

Well, to answer your first point, getting the right players in is a big part of the battle. Making good decisions about which players should play is another, and I think that was handled effectively. And most of all, motivating these players to care is a huge part of the battle. How many young careers have been trainwrecked because they just don't give a shit about football or because they care too much about themselves?
I never disagreed with your second point. Herm was never a guy to take this team to the next level. They needed a solid tactical coach like Haley to coach them up. And I'm sure (and hoping) his coaching staff is re-teaching these guys better habits and I am definitely sure that better gameday decisions will put them in better positions to win. But I think Herm did a lot more to get the right pieces in place than he gets credit for.
