It's nice that he won his Super Bowl games against the Jets, but when you're purely a defensive coach and you regress as badly as they did on D, that's a big red flag.

Spot on. Unfortunately it was a false rumor that they were given an ultimatum. Whaley has been given an extension. He is so overrated as a GM. He has major impulse control issues. When he wants something he will way overvalue it. I'd love to sit at a poker table with him. For instance drafting EJ Manual in round 1, Trading 2 #1's for Watkins in a year that was historically loaded at WR.. He grossly overpaid on an extension to McCoy who started showing injury issues at Philly and brought him into a ground and pound scheme.. What did he get for it around 800 yds and a guy who missed about a quarter of the season. Fans are giving him credit for bringing in McCoy almost as if they are crediting Whaley for McCoys stats while in Philly.. I love McCoy but he is overpriced and can't stay healthy just like Watkins, and Tyrod. Lot's of people simply give players a pass when they are injured but in my mind being able to stay on the field is an intangible asset of a player that has to be considered.
