Re: I have a lot of respect for Chan.
Some of this was probably already covered in this thread- I didn't read it carefully. But here goes- this is the problem with what you are saying:
Chan says he focuses the attention on the offense, yet there have been two games this year where the O failed to score even one touchdown (and at least one more where we didn't score a TD until the game was out of hand). The D is in shambles and he's done nothing about it- in fact, he admits to focusing on the O.
You are right that he would look better with a good QB. But he doesn't have a good QB. He does, however have arguably the best RB tandem in the game right now, one of whom is leading the league in YPC by a long shot. Yet, he only runs the ball 6 times in the 2nd half in a game where we were never more than 2 scores behind. He keeps calling plays like he has a good QB and no running game when the reality is the opposite.
None of that is on the failed management or a dysfunctional organization. None of that is on the poor QB or the situation Chan is in. That's all on Chan himself.
You say you've worked for a dysfunctional organization? Well, I wouldn't call the organization I work for "dysfunctional," but the project I'm on is messy. There are 3 or 4 contractors involved with no clear chain of command, we don't get to generate our own requirements, we have access issues for our testing environments, our IT service is off-site, etc. All of this is a major headache and makes it hard for me to get work done. But NONE of that is an excuse for me to turn in documents that are missing key pieces of information, have spelling and grammar errors, have inconsistencies, etc. It's still my job to work at the highest possible level of quality given the constraints.
And that's where Chan fails. No doubt he is in a tough situation, but he is not maximizing the talent and ability that he has at his disposal. Don't let the things that are out of his control become an excuse for him screwing up the things that are within his control.
