I think I see what your saying.
If ALL Stan wanted was a capable coach for moving a team, and getting us to sub .500 (from sub .300), then he accomplished that. But it's obvious that he didn't want a sub .500 team. So in that respect, he failed. I simply don't trust the Stan/Demoff/Snead team to turn this thing around.
1. Stan needs to demote Demoff to 'money man' only!
2. Stan needs to hire (big bucks) the best football minds/consultants possible to help him find the best football minded GM out there.
3. Let that GM go to work.
