My original point had more to do with the scapegoating and double standards that always seems to leave MM and DC blame-free. I didn't say the coach deserves the bulk of the blame when things go wrong. It depends on WHAT goes wrong. Player mistakes and attitudes often go back to coaching too. Isn't that why SS was fired? MM may be a great game planner, but he appears to be unwilling to adjust the plan he goes into the game with in relation to what happens during the game. Haven't you ever watched a game and wondered if he is even watching it? His and DC's handling of the last five minutes of regulation, especially MM's outright quitting on the second to last possession, was nothing short of negligent. Given his job security, it was even more disappointing that he would take no responsibility for the loss while throwing the players under the bus. I can't imagine a bigger learning experience for these guys in their careers, so hopefully a lot of good will come from it, as it should.
As to TT, he might just think that way... I know I would if I were the GM.
