[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 922127, member: 282"] I don't usually go with "he made the wrong play calls". That makes the game seem too much like Madden, and it's not. Long's play calls made sense but didn't give you the idea that he had a master plan behind his moves. It's hard to see a master plan on a 3-and-out, though. I think there's enough evidence that he's not a "coach them up/developmental OC". Also, although he didn't personally recruit the tight ends, you usually recruit an area and not a position, and we didn't get great performance out of that position. I think they're probably fine athletes and capable of more than they got a chance to show on Saturdays. Finally, I think if Key thought Long was a net plus or could even just work with him for another year, Long would still be here. Key has enough on his plate without coaching turnover, and coaching continuity is a good thing when you can get it. Key saw his offensive coaches every day and thought he could do better. In fact, I'd say he thought he had no choice but to make a change. My working theory and my hope is that he already has replacements in mind; better yet, I hope they're already planning to join. He may be taking a risk, but it's a lot safer to have your migration plan in place before you make a big change, and Key has just gone for a major restructuring. [/QUOTE]
