I think the "Jimmy has no patience/meddles too much argument" is low hanging fruit for pundits that is really old news. He showed too much patience with Hue. He meddled too little when Dorsey wanted very inexperienced Freddie. I think he desperately wants stability -- as badly as do we. He's just trying to find the right guys who actually deserve to be kept in the job.
Agree 100%. 110%, if I were a pro athlete.
Jimmy's first real go at putting a front office together was PetFarm, and that was a bad marriage from the start. Farmer was not ready (if in fact he ever will be ready) to be an NFL GM. Pettine is a good DC, but HC is probably a little too Peter Principle for him. And they mixed about as well as oil and water.
Then came DePo/Sashi/Hue. Again, an oil and water combination ... and probably not the best one, as Sashi really didn't have any football experience, and Hue turned out to be one of the worst HCs in NFL history. Even at that, Jimmy gave Hue one more season (well, nine games of it, anyway) than most anybody else would have.
DePo/Dorsey/Kitchens turned out to be an abomination. Kitchens may have won a few more games than his predecessors, but (a) he should have, given the available talent, and (b) that talent won in spite of him, not because of him. You can't leave a completely incompetent and overwhelmed person in charge because stability. If you order a dish in a restaurant, take two bites, and it's awful ... do you keep eating it in hopes it will improve?
Will DePo/Berry/Stefanski be better? We'll see ... but they all seem able to row in the same direction together, so that's a start.
