dont get me wrong - gulutzan is not perfect. in particular, his deployment and special teams(which i know he's not in charge of, but he ultimately holds the hammer as head coach) is atrocious at times, but when this team is 'on' it is scary. how much of that is systems and how much of that is ignoring the system depends on your own personal preference
that said, no matter what coach is here, i dont believe they have the horses up front to make a splash. they just aren't consistent enough
