yes. 100% yes.This is a point I think is gonna be hard to argue with:
Dana has done a better job in 2 weeks of coaching the QB, the RB's, the WR's, TE's and the OL than the whole fricking 5 offensive coaches combined. That's a fact.
How can I say that? You think all 5 position groups just magically got better in 2 weeks from the same shit the other coaches had been trying to teach them in the last 2 years?
Fvck, if those other position coaches were any good, the OLine would have been playing well, the RB's would have been hitting the holes, the WR's would have been getting separation and blocking the perimeter, and Dylan wouldn't have struggled for the last 5 games.
How did that entire transformation just happen to improve in 2 weeks? It's ALL Dana.
Same personnel, same playbook, same plays, same everything.
It's like we replaced the pitching coach who had his top two pitchers with ERA's of 7.50 a game because he didn't know how to set hitters up, how to pitch backwards and how to have hitters get themselves out. Same stuff on the mound.
So the new pitching coach calls pitches with the same pitchers with the same "stuff" and they have an ERA of 0.50.
It takes a coach with talent to bring out talent.
and perhaps a little bit of this, also:
Holgorson's bluntness seems to offset some of Rhule's beta qualities.
