I'll give TRT this: some of these players have been frustrating and inconsistent...and turnover prone, and fixes to these problems have been elusive. I do feel that Richard is experiencing similar issues as Tubby dealt with his last couple years - players that are maybe a bit too nice or mentally soft or lack the hard edge and assassin mentality you need to realize your potential. But instead of give up or let himself get burned out, Rich has fought through and cobbled together a pretty respectable season considering the team's overall talent level and roster imbalance. In fact, I think the result so far is remarkable considering. I don't think he could have done this with a soft touch. Pete Carroll has overwhelming talent to work with.
Good post. One thing I like about Rich is that he never complains about what he doesn't have. He figures out how to get the most out of what he does. Compare that to 9th Place Guy.
