Only a very limited number of head coaches have ever had that type of power. You can slam him for leadership or coaching deficiencies, but when it comes to the financial end of things you are talking out of your ass.

That is fairly ridiculous, a sure path to ruin. I am not saying the head coach should be signing the contracts and making the draft picks, but when you have a GM with a background in accounting, how in his right mind would that GM sign $150 million free agents and offer aging players $30 million extensions without consulting the head coach like "how do you think this QB fits, do you like him?" or "do you think we should extend this aging player, have you noticed them losing a step or do you think they are better than ever, does it make sense that we are considering paying Sequan Barkley money for them or do they strike you as more of a Mixon/Jacobs level player?"

How can a coach ever be expected to win if a drunk accountant is making their roster without even asking them what players they value more or less?

Also, it is ridiculous to say you would never struggle at work. If you had a stroke, would it not effect you? If you had a loss in the family, would it not distract your focus? If you got in a car accident and sustained an injury that required strong pain killers, would you be immune to developing a dependence? Anyone can struggle. DA clearly is struggling, but he just keeps getting support while his washed players get extensions.
