He went 22-25 with teams with middling talent at best. You can't point to the team that underachieved under his watch in Miami because it doesn't exist.
The narrative he lost the locker room is also false, but no one wants to hear it. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article223482025.html
For what its worth, some of the criticisms of that article have reared their ugly head here. They're scary accurate. But everyone's acting like we have the second coming of Kotite, or that the realistic options this team had in front of them at the time they made the hire would have been better.
Is that record somehow supposed to make sub .500 look better?
He managed to go 10-6 in his first season and then never had a winning season again. That sounds familiar.
He's an offensive geniusTM whose offense cracked the top 20 in points once while Manning wasn't his QB. And if the best that can be said about him is that he can take a middling team to a sub .500 record then I really don't see any evidence for keeping him around. This team doesn't need a play caller who cannot let a bad play call go or refuses to realize he has a running back on the team.
Gase isn't an offensive genius, he's a dude clearly on the spectrum and obsessed with the passing game.
Anyway...I think part of the problem with Williams is that offenses.really don't need to worry about who is playing right behind him. We're getting serviceable play out of our ILBs but I don't think that OCs are staying up at night worrying about blocking Neville Hewitt.
Give him another year and someone behind him that the offense needs to plan for more and he'll probably be causing more havock at and behind the lone of scrimmage.
