I'm so sick of hearing threads about firing coaches or management. Look, Ken's had 1 bad year, last year. Maybe management went cheap, before the lockout, due to uncertainty, but in the offseason they addressed issues. They've been in this league an awful long time compared to people who've been around, what, maybe 1/4 of the time of this franchise. Some humans weren't even born when this **** was trying to build this franchise. Get irritated, vent, whatever, but Bill Bidwill obviously knows how to survive.
Ken Whisenhunt did what anyone would (try to) do with the talent he inherited. When he took us to 8-8 it was considered a success. Then a SB game. What pisses me off is 09. Everyone acts like it was a huge failure. We beat GB in one of the best playoff games ever seen. Then we lose to the Saints, who won the SB that year. They abused our QB and we got some terrible calls, but losing to the SB champs isn't a failure, we just weren't up to the task. Then last year. Everyone acts like last year defines Whisenhunt. It was one year, out of the the last two when he took us to a great playoff win and a SB birth and prior to that, when we were crap. Why don't the other years define him?
In any case, I see no sense in abandoning what he's trying to do. For that matter, I've no real reason to question management. They all knew the lockout was coming, and they prepared in whatever way they thought necessary, a year ahead of time, and that's why we got stuck with DA. They tried to make up for it this year (and will probably try next year), but it's going to take time.
