Yesterday was a bad game and everything that could go wrong did go wrong, even a PAT from a usually reliable McManus, but the middle of the season is not the time to make all these changes, and probably not at the end of this one either if we want to reap the benefits of stability and continuity.
Shurmur was a good OC (his track record speaks for itself if you want to look it up) and that's why he won the HC job --that's a different job, you do realize that, right? With such a young offense full of rookies, key starters going down immediately, and no preseason, yeah it's very hard to implement a whole new offense and expect it to thrive. That said, there is room for improvement in his playcalling too -he has to learn what he's working with.
Drew hasn't played a full season, he needs at least that much -give him a chance to learn from mistakes. He's got the intangibles we want, just needs to refine his skills -like most rookies- and he basically still is one!
Patience is what's required and that's never been a strong suit for any fanbase -- "NOW NOW NOW I'm tired of waiting, tired of losing! Blow it all up!"
I agree about Tom McMahon though and it's a mystery why he was retained after last season when ST sucked last year too. This is his third (and hopefully final) year.
