Seems like a decent, well-meaning man.
And, in his prime, he was a solid NFL coach.
But I don't think there's really any argument to be made that he really understood, or cared to understand, the way offensive football is being played today. He was always going to do what any Buddy Ryan disciple would do ... most notably Rex.
Run the football.
Play action pass off those runs.
Play defense behind it.
Win in the last two minutes with a FG.
If there was ... you'd think at least one of his offensive "gurus" ... Rob Boras, Chris Weinke, Frank Cignetti, et al ... would have a job somewhere at a high level as something other than designated spear-carrier.
You can probably find some ancient posts by me right after the trade for Goff was made and he was drafted in which I said the only drawback of the trade was that I didn't think he was with a staff that could help him much.
I think that was proven out.
You disagree.
I guess that's where we'll have to leave it.
The one thing I think we can agree on is that what happened last Saturday will mean next-to-nothing if Goff doesn't continue to improve his play. This can't be a plateau. It must be a single step forward.
