Please, give me examples, That Guy. There's only so much when your defense lets you down every 4th quarter, you have no real running back, and your quarterback is half dead thanks to heston. He can't fire assistants mid year, he can't just invent a new offense overnight. He can't just grab new players off the waiver wire that will perform well.

Lets see... hmm...
*attending personel meetings and being more involved with the front office and scouting staff...
*getting a D coordinator/ENTIRE COACHING STAFF that have some nfl experience and have been with successful organizations... and you can't say no one was available, gibbs is special, but he got an entire staff in a couple weeks... stevie had 2 years and in that time he lost lewis (ie, they got even worse)
*you don't let your running back leave and get some unproven guy named trung just cause he can run a good 40... if he wanted to he could have traded picks or worked a deal to get a decent back.
*MOST IMPORTANTLY, he's the coach, the go to guy, if there's a problem, he's making five mill to get it fixed... fading in the 4th quarter tends to be related to bad coaching and kepping the defense on the field too long... if heston is killing his QB, then why keep heston employed? didn't he know enough about football to see the flaws in the systems his staff were employing (and that he was supposed to be overseeing)?
its kinda hard to defend a guy with nearly no work ethic who was unwilling to change in any way.
that whole mid-season grab-fest was because he didn't have proper depth or pre-season planning... the lack of organization is at least partially his fault, since he was SUPPOSED to be running things.
