Ok, let's calm down, please.
Moving on from Durant and Chung are fine, as the value isn't there.
The fundamental strategy on the offense needs to change to account for the limitations of the personnel. You do not have the personnel to run this scheme, but you have good enough personnel to run a Trestman style scheme, and that includes Reilly who can run it and run it well if he's willing to adapt.
I neither like Maksymic's scheme nor his in game management. He's a battleship player in a way even Chap wasn't and that's not going to cut it here, and if Campbell isn't versatile enough to cut bait on both him and the trebuchet philosophy then this team is going to continue to struggle offensively.
Having said that, there are a few things to bear in mind.
The last time this league fielded a season, we were the single worst team in it. Rome wasn't rebuilt in a day, and relative to where the franchise was, overall, the defense and special teams have come a long way.
Along the same lines, in terms of player personnel, there was a bit of a mess to clean up and the current co-GMs have come pretty far in doing that clean up, overall.
When the offense isn't a total trash fire, both the secondary and the defensive line have been pretty good. This is a competitive defense when the offense isn't crapping the bed.
This team looks like the team he had in Ottawa in his final year.
He was not the GM of that team and I'd encourage you to take a look at what the recently deposed brain trust has done to that team since then. That's a team with some pretty smart position coaching and coordinating and it is a considerably brighter tire fire than we are.
Coaches at every level adapt or perish. We're going to find out if Campbell is able to adapt. As for terminating him after less than a season, I highly doubt ownership is going to eat a second consecutive one and done contract, barring some sort of confrontation or stubbornness as it relates to Maksymic.
