2-2 and fans want the coach fired. Sometimes I hate the Internet.

Greg I respect your opinion greatly..
First, it is clear from the get go of this thread that it isn't a request to have him fired now.. more of a warning flare in the night of the season.
Second, we have much more to make the grounds for such a opinion than four games.. it is the same issues that cycle and little other than words are offered to get them fixed.
If the coach is going to weekly play the fundamentals as the reason, sooner or later he is got to either fix the root problem or offer up to the customers of this franchise why the product is failing.
This offensive line has been failing for a couple of years now.. but Clifton and Tauscher were in place to at least offer a little stability to the unit. The depth at tackle and the next generation has been in question for a couple of years.
They put a off season plan together that looked thin on paper.. and inexperience at the lead. That happens, but generally a team has a plan B in mind.. our plan B can't even make the gameday actives..
So as a fan, you say okay, we have seen this before at the guard spot.. they can't make the same mistake yet again can they? Looking at the roster makeup going into the season.. you say, they are rolling the dice okay.
We turn up snake eyes in depth and starter production.. but we get lucky and we have an early bye week to shore this up a little. However the bye week arrives, all players are given the week off and the scouting staff, coaches, and front office do little to remedy the situation.
And you wonder why fans are starting to fire warning flares and grumble?
It is early enough to save this season, yet the sense of urgency seems to have fallen upon deaf ears at 1265 Lombardi.
Maybe the fires are brewing behind the walls and they have seen the flares overhead.. we shall see.
