Given my preseason prediction of 7-9, I am thinking we need to stay with Rick Smith, Kubiak and the main coaches. To me this team looks like the 1986 Oilers, full of young talent with no background in winning. That team grew to be a solid competitor who could not get past the 4 time in a row Super Bowl team of the Bills.
I like the foundation they have built and this team is close, they need to learn to win the close game.
As much as I disagree with the choice of types of players for each position, ie I like a OL and big DT over smaller and quicker, they have committed to these types and invested to much to throw them out right about the time they are getting close to their prime.
I do not see any other coach in the league that would make the same choices, so IMO we need to keep this group in place. Changing now would be as painful as dismantling the Capers team. We all know how painful that has been.
