Whiz is a good coach with a 3-foot Achilles heel and he refuses to do anything different to protect that vulnerability.
For the record from someone who took a mild potshot at him earlier in the thread ("the system works")
I thought he was a good coach for the team at the time: Talent assembled by Denny the GM, but an undisciplined mess from Denny the Coach
Give him credit: he saw what Warner could do, and went against a top 10 pick by the organization by going with him. The offense was tailored to Kurt.
Where he failed:
Even post SB when he became the defacto GM -- his offensive line moves pretty much all failed, and that led to Kurt retiring earlier than maybe he should have. It always felt like he was determined to show that Levi Brown could play LT at an acceptable level -- rather than RT or even guard.
His choice of QBs was pretty suspect-- Max Hall's total lack of NFL arm strength should have been apparent in practice.
The lack of o-line dev over time made it even harder. With a good offensive line and a running game -a Kevin Kolb could very well have been a Ryan Fitzpatrick like game manager that kept the team competitive until a better option came along. Instead, the entire offensive load rested on the QB making plays.
His insistence that Mike Miller could take over for Haley was another issue - and refusing the change even when it was apparent Miller was over his head
It just sounds like Whis was making many if the same mistakes in Tenn that he did here.
