If I were Pete I would have 4 closed door meetings.
!st-Players only meeting. Separate the offense and the defense. Ask them to write down anonymously what they see is holding the team as a whole back.
2nd-Coaches meeting-Do the exact same thing.
3rd-a sit down with John to really look at what they see the problems are. This might be a series of meetings, tape room study, talent evalutaion.
4th-sit down with Paul Allen. What does he see and hear as an owner. Is he happy with the status quo?
After these meetings, identify the common threads. If you hear a consistent complaint, those are the first on the list to change. Make 5 achievable goals by preseason. Might be roster changes, coach replacement, even a tweaking of his own philosophy. Evolve or die.
We have seen a peak at the superbowl win and a steady decline after. find out why and fix it, or just be mediocre and sell a few less hats.
Good news about becoming shitty again is I could afford and be able to buy season tix! Watch us lose from good seats.
