Say you are the new head coach of a team mired in losing. In your first year, you expect moderate improvement as you are supposed to, but what's say your team goes on a little run. Your conference is weak by historic proportions and you are staring smack dab at the possibility of being in the playoffs with an under .500 record. Now you know your team is not gonna win a Superbowl and will get bounced unceremoniously in the first round, you also know you have a lot of holes you'd like to fill. What do you do? CHANGE QUARTERBACKS. That's right. Nothing sends a team into disarray like a qb change. Now you're losing again and headed toward that high pick in the draft which you expected all along. Noone expected your team to do anything anyway, and you even have something to build on for next year. Denny Green is a genius. Wish we had gone after him. Nice job Denny. Well played.
