I see all this talk about making playoffs, being top ten etc. If that is your goal, then we are a success. Most people the goal is getting the Lombardi. With Bevell, cable and Richard, the window is closed. Sure we can fight hard and win divisions, maybe make it a round or two in the playoffs and that's it. These coaches hold this team back, and are miles apart from elite coaches. Pete brings a great atmosphere and general philosophy, but. He needs help with the specific x's and o's. Imagine this team with shanahan as OC. We would have 2 Superbowl and 3 to 4 appearances.
From a talent perspective, we have 3 good years left give or take to have a shot at winning the Superbowl. We have a coaching staff that doesn't understand how to take advantage of this talent.
So, as we sit with no coaching changes, yes the window is closed. No confidence and no fire. Can't win the tough grinding type of games when the players don't respect the coaches. Also can't win against great opposing coaching when our coaches have no.idea how to make adjustments.
