Good points on Detroit's division and cap issues. You also have to wonder why they haven't been more successful with the talent they have on Offense - namely, a 5000 yard passer and Megatron.
If this year was an aberration for RG3, the next coach is going to have success without having to do anything.
I think the situation here is unique with the $36 mil cap penalty over the last 2 years. The situation should drastically improve by default. The new coach will have a much greater opportunity to immediately improve the roster and will have a full compliment of draft picks in just their second year.
What's the contract situation with Stafford? If he's taking up too much of their cap, it's going to be more difficult to put the pieces they need around him.
