AS for players getting better well we'll see... At this point does it really matter? The team with him at the helm is 3-11 they need to clean house.
I wonder where the alienating comments are coming from. If it's Bradway and his band of underperforming cronies, then how is that a bad thing? I say that with tongue in cheek, because in every organization people get alienated for one reason or the other. Ruthless prick leaders who may be very successful alienate people all of the time, so I take those reports with a grain of salt.
And BTW, an overwhelming % of the 3-11 record is because Rex is at the helm. I contend that the roster is better now than it was 2 years ago, certainly on the offensive side of the ball. Not only is it arguably a stronger roster, but the CAP situation is measurably better also. CB is the only weaker spot than 2 years ago, but there are caveats for Idzik's performance in that position's decline. We have read that the Revis trade was Idzik's doing, but it was Woody's mandate. He did turn it into a valuable piece though in Richardson. If you want to blame Idzik for not re-signing an injured and poorly performing Cro for big $$, that's fair but also with 20/20 hindsight. I think he did the practical thing there, but it came back to haunt him because of 2 major injuries and Patterson.
I also understand that patience and logic don't always play into these decisions. I believe Woody will succumb to the media and lunatic fringe fan base that are pushing for Idzik's dismissal. It's a pretty sad state of affairs in my opinion because Idzik has improved the team, and has put them in better position to be able to re-sign core players and go after free agents. I hear the complaints about JI not using all of the cap space, but maybe that was the plan all along. In the short term that is viewed as a major mistake by many, but if he spent money on CBs e.g., would that have made Geno a better QB, or Rex a better HC?
