Fabulous post. Fabulous!! I would only add one thing. The organization allowed Hazlett to put himself in this position. Hazlett does have a knowledge of football. LoomBoom does not. Without a STRONG guiding hand in the Front Office you get chaos.

As much as I hate Atlanta, I have to give Arthur Blank credit for doing the right thing. Rich McKay, not Jim Mora, Jr., is the architect for this club. He knows football, players, and coaches. He has teamed with Mora and has been a force in the organization. The same is true in Detroit. Millen and Mooch are turning a perinal loser into a respectable team.

What has happened here is that this ENTIRE organization is fragmented. Coach killing players come from the Front Office. Scouts, Director of Players, GM, control what gets on the field. The coach takes what he\'s given and makes it work.

Finally, there is one point of contention about the \"coordinators.\" Benson, not Mueller or Hazlett, hired both Venturi and McCarthy prior to Hazlett being named. So, I don\'t know that Hazlett bears ALL of the blame for their shortcomings.

My two cents.
