Right, so changing coaches will have us start competing with the big boys?Overnight huh?

Once again,look at his player personnel guy AND
look at this franchise before he got here.
The season before was a COMPLETE debacle with the Petrino BS and his 4-12 record.

You really think this years team is remotely close personnel wise to the top teams in the
NFL? Or even the .500 teams in the NFL?

I'm not gonna argue with his time mgt issues in
the Det and Cleveland but to pin all the playoff losses on him alone is moronic...especially given the crap personnel he had/has to work with on the defensive side of the ball.

No doubt he's gone after this season along with TD (who I've been bitching about for 3 years and long before anyone on here))I got into a huge disagreement with Whopper about his picks back in '12.

If healthy in '15 the team should have one of the top offenses in the NFL and improved on defesne with Moore and Spoon back. But still will have huge holes at D-line and LB

You never know. Harbaugh took a shite San Francisco team who hadn't even sniffed the playoffs in about 10 years before he got there and had them hosting the NFCCG in his first season. You know what the difference was? They looked tougher and meaner than they had in previous regimes and physically imposed their will on opponents.

Pete Carroll had Seattle in the second round of the playoffs in his first season as coach/GM. He drafted well and his teams were (and still are) tough and nasty.

There's a reason those two played a classic NFC title game last season.

Worked for San Francisco. Harbough took a team that was garbage and a QB that was considered the worst starting QB in the NFL to the NFC Championship game and Alex Smith ended the season the the 3rd highest QB rating in the league.

You're saying the right coaching staff couldn't come to Atlanta and do well immediately? Please. If San Francisco had the talent Atlanta has in 2011 they probably would've been Superbowl champs.
