As a fan, I actually LOVE Nolan as a coach. He's completely turned that team from laughable (remember just two years ago?!?!) To a respected franchise. Yes they have issues. But just look at the record the last 4 years. It's been better and better each year. Obviously this is his most talented team he's had, and he gets a large part of that credit. But lets face it, inconsistancy in the offensive coordinator and some key injuries have plagued this team. I won't place the blame on him yet. The expectations were high for a change and that's something he needs to deal with. the team is more talented but it's not deep enough to deal with key injuries. Let's give it a little more time to see how this plays out this year. If they get a respectable run going (its only week 8!) Which I actually think will happen, then we can decide what sort of blame we thrust upon him. Dilfer is terrible, the oline hasn't been great and the play calling is horrific! I would get a new Offensive coordinator before I throw out Nolan. This team reminds me too much of the Ravens at times. Even Patrick Willis reminds me of Ray Lewis (w/o the mouth). And if they can put together a consistant offense around Gore I do think we'll have a winning franchise again. My advice to you, just be a little more patient. They are 2-1 in the division and has bad as they have looked they aren't out of the playoff picture by an means and if they make it under Nolan this year he'll have a great future. Nolans Coaching Record: 2004: 2-14 (pre-Nolan) 2005: 4-12 2006: 7-9 2007: 2-4 (still has oppt. to improve) First of all, I think he’s doing fine. As a fan, I actually LOVE Nolan as a coach.
