Well said, Blitz.
If Wally is going to make changes in the coaching staff based on the performance of their player groups, firing Steff Kruck first seems off the mark. If he is the sacrificial goat, even worse.
Personnel, Schemes and Coaching Staff.
These are 3 areas Wally might look at if he decides to make changes.
Personnel
He always makes changes in player personnel. If he changed from 5 to 10 players off last year's roster, I would not be surprised. This is normal for him.
IMO our personnel is not a great problem. Tweaks are needed here and there. Game breaking import receiver. Defensive end to backup or start in place of Brent Johnson. Top of the line import linebacker. Defensive halfback.
Coaching Staff
This depends on Wally's philosophy. I expect that the coaches deliver what Wally wants. How can he fire them? For the most part, they are also his proteges or long-time associates. I don't expect any more changes in the coaching staff. I would hope he allows them, and encourages them to update and modernize the play books, game plans and schemes. Or will he stay with the same stuff he has used for 20 years? Conservative stuff on defence. Predictable stuff on offence and defence.
Schemes
IMO this has been our biggest problem. Can the coaches Wally has bring our schemes up to the level of Hufnagel, Trestman and MIller? If they do have the innovative and creative ability, will Wally allow them to make the adjustments? It seems to me that what has worked for Wally for 20 years needs a major overhaul. I have doubts that it will happen for next year.

So, once again, thank you to Steff Kruck for all your contributions and hard work. You do have your supporters, those that believe in you. I hope you land in a good environment.
