I don't see Gase and the other coaches as the problem. Sure, these guys could be better but the team usually wins half of their games every year. Bad coaches win less games unless we think the Fins have a very talented roster and not an average roster. Too many coaching changes hinder a team from being able to compete. If I were Ross I would be patient with the coaches and focus on adding more talent.
I think lack of depth on the roster is a big part of the problem. Injuries on the oline contributed to an end to an early winning streak. The better teams have better depth on the roster. Also, if your QB gets sacked 9 times(even against an elite dline) that is an indicator there is a big problem. In addition, better QBs get rid of the ball sooner. Also the coaches need to have guys better prepared to step up. To the team's credit Ballage looked more than ready when Gore got hurt. The Fins need an Oline like the Saints. They are consistent every game and every year.
The Fins have some big decisions to make: Is Tannehill the QB that the Fins need for the future? If they are not sold on him then adding or developing the best QB possible has to be the top priority.
The Fins will need to absolutely nail the next draft even though they will be picking in the middle again. It's not impossible but harder with later picks. The Fins also will need to sign the right FAs to rise above the pattern of mediocrity.
The consolation to this non playoff season was the home win against the Pats. Next year how about a win in Gillette? That would be a good goal for an AFC East team. As a Fins fan that would be like winning the Superbowl.
