I don't mind CEO style coaches if they hire the right coordinators. Garrett does a good job of handling Jerry and I'm not sure that's a task many coaches would like to take on. I get the Jerry hate, but getting rid of the owner is likely not gonna happen, so unless I want to root for another team, I try not to worry about it.
Linehan has consistently underperformed with the talent given. He also conveniently forget how to stick to the running attack, ALL THE TIME. Hell, the only success he's had here is when he runs the damn ball like 30x a game. If we miss the playoffs this year, they need to make a change offensively.
Also, I believe keeping the entire offense out for the bulk of preseason was a bad idea and certainly had an impact on their performance. That's on the coaches. You can't play scared. That said, it was CWill and Collins who struggled the most on the line and they had the most playing time in preseason so I don't know what to believe.
The offense looked to settle in by the 4th quarter, so hopefully they can use that momentum going into this week. If not, there won't be any more excuses and we will not be a very good football team.
