He has done a bad job, period. With the whole team.
It's a decent roster. I'd rank it somewhere slightly above league average, thanks to Herm.
Quarterback and head coach issues completely undermine it.

Definitely not defending the guy. As I've said, he was so stubborn, arrogant, and unbelievably bad at ****ing up the few really key decisions here that I'm 100% on board the Fire Pioli bandwagon.
But while Herm's talent provided a nice foundation, we have to remember this is a team that had less than 10 even halfway decent players out of 53. We now have a pretty solid starting lineup in most of the 22, and some quality depth. And we did it without spending very much money, so we're in tremendous cap shape.
Pioli set the team up for the next guy to take over such that a new coaching staff and a real QB turns this team into a deep playoff contender.
