Not Fair to Judge a Coach Because of Injuries?

Now isn't that what Shaw said? Did he not say that it was unfair to even consider firing Linehan because of all the injuries that occurred in 2007? I sure seem to recall him saying words to that effect, in fact on more than one occasion.

So if that is then the truth here, how was it fair to Paul Boudreau the offensive line coach, to fire him? It was his unit that was utterly decimated by injuries. Should he not been given the same type of treatment at Linehan?

Boudreau was not the problem and releasing him was not the answer and won't fix the multitude of problems this team is facing.

Olson's boring offense was part of the problem and getting rid of him makes sense, but now they are thinking of bringing in Cam Cameron, who may have an Air Coreyll style of coaching but he's yet another "loser" from Miami. Doesn't make sense, but then again, what things coming down from the front office have made sense in recent years?

The teams main problem remains coaching. Linehan has had two years to show whether or not he's got that special thing that makes a coach, that special something that turns players heads, and putting injuries aside, he simply does not have that intangible that sparks enthusiasm in the hearts of any of his players. There is where the problem lies.

But who am I? Just a fan looking in from the outside.
