Hartley got 97 points and then the next year they tuned him out and he went to 77. After Hartley got canned GG took them up to 94 points and a PO spot. Then they tuned him out, sagged to 84 and he got fired. Then Peters took them to 107 and again a PO spot (and the first round exit felt worse). The next year they were mediocre and starting to tune out Peters - they were always win 2 lose 2 and right before he was fired they’d gone on a 6 game losing streak - at Peters’ .500 rate they were going to miss the POs. And Ward immediately went on a 7 game winning streak, and had another similar streak which resulted in (a) a play-in win and (b) a first round exit that at least more competitive, up 3-0 and should have been 4-0 but for a few seconds. And now they’ve tuned out Ward.
So they’ve tuned out an ass kicker who coached a weird stretch pass game, a nice guy who coached a Babcock style, an ass kicker who coached a forecheck and fast transition game, and now Ward.
