I think it's the combination of Kubiak and Smith together that's foobar. I don't like how Smith handles personnel matters for one, and they both seem to be complete imbeciles when it comes to identifying team weaknesses and addressing those weaknesses. If it wasn't for stumbling upon Foster, we'd still have a big questions at RB and they still haven't been unable to fix the secondary - particularly S. It's like they completely ignore that position, which is surprising since Smith was a S. Both of those issues (and others) they inherited when they took over the team 5 years ago. In addition, their coaching staff selections leave much to be desired. I think that's a primary reason why they keep drafting DLs. Their DC hires have been a joke and they can't scheme and/or find a DL coach who can coach these guys up. That's assuming their DL picks have any talent at all...
