What stands out to me as the biggest indictment of Lindgren is the predictability of his playcalling. He has a few plays that he will call on each down/situation. His job is to put the players in a place to succeed. As good teams adjust, he needs to also adjust his range of calls to keep defenses off balance.
I know this gets lost, but it is the coaches who get paid. The players (by and large) aren't getting the big bucks. This is not the players' full time job. Agree that players make mistakes, but the coaches are there to ensure that those mistakes don't become patterns. Lindgren isn't showing progress on this front.
