I don't hate Nagy, but he's shown far too many critical flaws. Mostly 2 big ones:
1)
Unwillingness to change & adapt.
* His record after bye weeks is winless.
*Third quarter scoring after supposed halftime adjustments is historically shitty.
*He allowed Pace to NOT bring in OL help this prior offseason - stubbornly assuming shaving off all his offensive assistants would fix the problems with run game & O overall (it failed MASSIVELY).
*He REFUSED to give up his play calling until his seat was on fire after 6 losses in a row.
** Only then did the shift away from 90% shotgun happen.
** Only then was Sam Musty allowed to play...and play he has!!! Even shitty Leno has gotten his ass in line recently!!!
** Only when Patterson got hurt last week did D. Monty get > 30 carries and into a real RB groove.
** Only then did Kmet see more action and scrub TEs get pulled (although that endzone INT still reeked of Nagy having
2)
No accountability.
- Admits players asked him to review film and call out shitty play in front of the whole team. I've still yet to hear IF he ended up actually doing this??
- Admits in pressers after losses that he doesn't know what happened or what the next move will be. He's not playing coy. Dude is legit lost.
- Flat out REFUSES to call out his players and ignorantly says "I will never question the effort of my guys. Never"; despite many many games of OBVIOUS SHITTY SHIT SHIT effort by many, including his "star" players. We've seen them give up on routes & downfield blocking. This alone is opposite of what a head coach's primary job is.
Other than that, he's looking better. ?
MIN is a top 12 defense by several measures. Can't say they just beat up chump-ass garbage teams. There is obvious improvement across the board offensively. The above issues are critically important and I don't have faith he overcomes them.
