Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3153073, member: 8423"] The thing I like about Holbrook is that he is instilling a structure in that side and as has been mentioned, the deadwood is being cut but being replaced by targeted signings. Yes they are paying a premium to bring guys in but they (from the outside looking in) have a plan. Compare that to the Broncos - blow the place up, get rid of guys on a whim (sort of) but do it in a ridiculously one-sided, convoluted loan deal (but trumpet it as a release) and then get them back busted and pay for the rehab. Offer ridiculously inflated deals to guys who are unproven and / or busted AND give them player options. And because over-inflated contracts with the player options based on potential work so well (sarcasm), throw out the same thing to an unproven rookie coach with potential. The other thing is that the coach (seemingly like the board) are just totally reactive in everything they do. Like, they come up with an idea (and it might be good in theory, ala chase Bellamy, try and move on Bennett, try and wrap up young talent - Milford, Joffa, Oates) but not think it through and think of a plan B or C if it goes awry. Take the coach, he is complaining, distancing and clueless about the massive culture issue in the side. He is a massive issue with the side because he is part of a now perpetual problem. Regardless of ideas, he can't fix the problem because he is a big part of it (and fairly or unfairly, the face of it). So what does he do? He throws ideas out there, changes players/positions on a whim and when it doesn't set the world on fire, change it again. No wonder the players are confused and frustrated. They don't know what their role is, they don't know what they are supposed to do. They don't know what position they will be in week to week, even half to half. So what happens? They are all clueless and looking to the coach for support. What is he doing? Throwing out excuses, deflecting blame, claiming responsibility but not actually taking it. So the players do the same. They aren't a smart bunch, they need leadership and the coach, senior players and admin are not taking it or showing it. Even worse, no one takes accountability and the coach doesn't enforce standards...because he doesn't know what they are or should be...and he is the one who needs to set them! He is Patty Carrigan without the leeway needed to become what he looks like he could have been. He is the rookie captain who really isn't ready to do the massive job needing to be done, regardless of potential. Like his senior, massive contracted players, he is on too much, in a position he isn't yet ready for, confused, frustrated and also doesn't have the background performance to fall back on to get out of it. He, like the club, had a plan A and now that it has gone, due to injury, luck, stupidity, bad decisions, COVID-19 and pure incompetence, he has no idea whatsoever what to do and he is just hoping for the best and hoping, like most fans, that it will just turn around on its own when the injured players return because...we are the Broncos and so it just happens. This is why I am concerned nothing will improve at the Broncos until the board and coach are gone and the right players are bought in...like the Titans look like they are actually trying to do.
