    unsure. Then again I'd be unsure about anyone in their first year of rebuild. The only thing I like about him is that the players respond very well to him.

      I never approve of 4 wins. Doesn't matter.

        I was leaning towards unsure as well. That said, some of the adjustments that he did during a game won me over. It was a breath of fresh air to see someone actually change the game plan and not have our opponents knowing exactly what was going to happen.

          i would have been really positive if he could have won one of the last two games. but he really got out classed by better talent.

          pros - offense was better, comes to terms with bad decisions much quicker, second half of games actually had adjustments, more disciplined OL (less holding and false starts), dealt with OL injuries better (ton of turnover, not a lot of decline in the play), didn't putz around in blowout losses with punting on 4th down. He manned up and went for it.

          cons- beat bad teams, couldn't contain the run, struggled with gameplans for better teams, gave up on the run early (but the OL wasn't a run blocking line).

            Went with unsure. Not a big fan of his gameday tactics, player usage or play calling at times, but he wasnt afraid to move on from mistakes and give other players a shot at PT.

              His honesty and ability to admit his mistakes and try to fix them is passable for me in his first season.
              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
              "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
              You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
              It was all
              true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
              He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
              mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                I went unsure because anyone would look good replacing Jauron and he still has players Jauron brought in and is slowly getting rid of them.

                    The roster was a 2 -win roster and they won 4 games.

                    Slight thumbs up.

                      I tried to measure him up vs the pats. He failed miserably.

                        I put unsure. There were things I liked and things I didn't. I'd like to see how he does with another draft worth of players.

                          If Chan believes Fitz is the answer at QB, then he has failed miserably.

                            Hire a bargain-basement-over-the-hill defensive coordinator: average 7 wins....all dull.

                            Hire a bargain-basement-over-the-hill offensive coordinator: 4 wins....all fun to watch.

                            Fire up the Delorean...it's back to the future at 1BD.

                              Whether or not someone is the answer always depends on what the question is.

                              If the question is: who can stay to warm the seat for a future franchise QB? then Fitz may very well be the answer.
