So you're finally coming around to believing the problem runs deeper than the coach and the system?
Can you link to where he ever said otherwise?
It may not have been directly stated, but it was certainly insinuated that Carlyle was the biggest issue with this team moving forward.
I've always contented that the blame should be placed more so on the players than the coach. I'm sure you can recall some of our arguments over this topic.
As I recall the gist of the argument has been that the players may not be good enough but that Carlyle's coaching was making it difficult to determine who should stay and who should go and that we needed to see the team for awhile under a better coach to get a better understanding of where the team is at. It's not saying the players aren't responsible or that the issues don't run deeper than the coach, but that the coaching was so poor that it may be masking the true talent/potential of the roster.
