Sadly, we need something more than a great coach, because we have a terrible owner and a GM who seems middle of the road at best.
I truly don't understand some of the opinions voiced here about Allen. We are all under the belief that this is his first year as being the one who actually makes personnel decisions - correct? Prior to that time Shanahan made those decisions.
If that is a correct assumption then Allen has doesn't done too bad overall. In the draft he took Murphy & Breeland who appear to be assets on the defense & Breeland could be a steal. He took Long & Moses on the O-line & you really have to wait a few years to determine if they are good or not - most O-lineman don't develop overnight. Way is one of the bigger steals on STs. As for free agency - they did get Jackson, Roberts, Hatcher & McCoy. Some of the other pickups (Clark, Lavao) are questionable but were made somewhat out of desperation & relatively cheap.
I think you need to give this more time but overall it doesn't appear that he is doing that poorly. Am I wrong?
