I feel if the team came out and used the term "rebuild" ther would have been a lowered expectation and we all would be pleasantly suppressed right now mid season being 4-4. Instead they mentioned making a run at the play offs and people expected 9-7 and are criticizing and scrutinizing everything to include how he manages the team. I for a second time am excited about how he's managing the players, enough with the player type coaches.

I gave him a B but was thinking of giving him an A. If it wasn't for meltdown against the Texans and the dishonesty after Detroit I definitely would've given him an A. You can't make chicken parm out of chicken crap.
