You hit it on the head. It's his arrogance and belief that there's simply no way he could ever be wrong. And let's be real here. The game is clearly passing him by at this point, like it does to all coaches. It's simply not the same league and the things he thinks are valuable from his long time in the league are no longer that important. For example, him spending freely on free agents that are only special teams players, while the league is literally mitigating that entire aspect out of the game more and more every season. How you go out and spend and sign players to run down a field on kickoffs when the league is making those plays rarer every day, and not spend on fixing your offensive line is criminally inept.
Ha ha - he loves special teams and the Vikings & Buffalo special teams fiasco last year guaranteed he would scour the league for the best and beg Mathew Slater to stay
He’s arrogant as shit but thankfully he has Bill OBrien, Mayo, Brown etc on the staff
Also me and Lou were losing it in real time over his 22 draft and in 23 something happened he couldn’t have possibly made those picks by himself
He’s notorious for skipping recommendations (hello Debo Samuel & Dallas Godeart) because one of his friends (helo Herm Edwards and his WR N’Keil Harry) suggested one of THEIR players
This guy doesn’t even let his scouts in the draft room which is freaking outrageous
Why? Because he is drafting who he wants
Power corrupts thru history and why he told Seth Withersham he could take any top 15 QB and turn them into a star, why he hires Judge & Patricia with no experience as OC; why he doesn’t listen to scouts and drafts what he wants
When he was in his hey day he was surrounded by guys of strong personalities but as they leave and SB accumulated he thinks it’s more about him
I’m somewhat optimistic because he’s brought in push back guys and he’s on the hot seat
