Hard to say because so few teams have equally poor roster so basically you can only compare to about 5 other guys at best. But Barry Trotz comes to mind right off the bat.

I think they've actually been much better in their effort to come back, but yea the coverage still sucks. That's going to happen when you have younger players (Monahan, Sven, Colborne, Bouma) and also remnants of the country club still around with old habits to break.
At least Hartley has them coming back this year, which is a major improvement from last year.
Baby steps.
