And that Sam Baker and Reynolds aren't exactly getting the job done at their prospective positions on the o-line?

I'd also like to ask him why does it take us spotting the opposing team 10 points before we make major decisions, such as going to the no-huddle or Matt calling his own plays?

I know I don't know everything that's going on behind the scenes to make an informed judgment, but one cannot ignore what's been going on for the past year and a half. I figure either Smitty wants to give his coordinators a chance to do better. I just hope it's not an ego thing with him in that he's just going to roll with what he has due to not wanting to admit he was wrong in choosing his personnel.

Exactly what is it going to take? Matt going down with an injury before he finally wakes up and cans Mike Mularkey? Or realizes that Baker peaked last year or that Reynolds (a converted T) isn't a G?

To his credit, BVG has stepped up his game and has done pretty well calling the plays at DC the past two games. Mike Mularkey, unfortunately, hasn't changed a bit. He's still predictable as ever and shows no signs at changing his gameplan, which is the same style that got him fired at Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

Wake up, coach.

Mike Smith is not assertive at all. you can see it in his mannerisms, the way he talks and the way he acts. he just doesn't come off as a good leader or decision maker to me. I could be wrong, but i just don't see how a guy like that ever has the balls to fire his coordinators. He will go down with the ship.
