He's not going to rebuild fully. He's not going to ever find a real head coaching candidate. The TE he took in the FIRST ROUND just dropped another ball. He doesn't understand modern NFL QBing. Even his drafts that look good on paper aren't panning out.
He's had a great run. Arguably a great and legendary run. He convinced Manning to come here. But those days are over.
When you can't beat a team without it's star QB, and their bad defense is crushing you, and your season is on the line, it's over. The problem is we're not even halfway through the season, and we've sucked since the SB.
It's time for a hard reset. The defenses for John are over. In recent history, it really feels like when he does something, on paper it looks great...then fizzles out.
