For whatever sport.

Football: Pagano is the main problem, more than anything else. He's straight up an awful coach that has a job because he got cancer in the middle of one of his coaching seasons and it gave him a leash that was way too big.

While firing him won't fix all our problems, getting the dipshyt out well be a step in the right direction and our continued focus on building our defense.

Basketball: Lakers offensive scoring has been a mess. The passing when Lonzo leaves the court is horrendous and even our halfcourt game is a struggle because Lonzo isn't good at it yet and movement often stops after a few passes. An emphasis on ball movement and in the half court, opposed to trying to get Lonzo to create for everyone, and more off-ball cuts to the rim will probably help our team a lot, especially if we start using Lonzo as a cutter.

We also need a backup PG that isn't Clarkson and Ennis because Ennis is mostly trash and Clarkson is a chucker that doesn't look to create.

Falcons, the entire coaching staff needs to drink some sprite laced with rat poison and hippo semen :pacspit:

1) They take opponents with bad records lightly. They come out in these types of games lacking any kind of focus or sense of urgency, play poorly in all 3 phases, and often lose. When they win, it's close and they are lucky to win. I've even seen on 3-4 different occasions, key injuries to key players in these types of games. Not sure how to fix the injury thing, but the poor play is definitely a coaching problem. They make bad plays in all 3 phases. They lack urgency, waste offensive possessions taking needless risks then find themselves unable to score because they've wasted too many possessions. They blow assignments on defense because they overpursue looking to make splash plays, thinking they can get away with the risks against bad teams. The coaches cannot let them continue to fail at taking opponents seriously, but yet they've done it very predictably, week after week, for the past 9 seasons.

2) Disappointing QB play. Ben is surrounded by weapons and continues to throw INTs and is off on his deep throws. Part of this fix is that we need more creative play design to get AB, JuJu, Bryant, and Bell open in space. But a lot of it is that Ben needs to fix his accuracy. He used to be a beast throwing 20+ yards downfield. Now he's VERY questionable. Seems mostly like a focus/desire issue from my perspective. I just don't see the urgency and fire Ben has played with in the past. Would like to see that return.

3) Not game planning to opponents - thinking we can beat everyone just playing our own game. These coaches (Todd Haley especially) are arrogant and inept at game planning for specific opponents. They have the mentality "we will win doing what we do because we have better players", leaving opportunities to exploit specific teams' specific weaknesses. For example, we abandoned the run against the Jags who excel at pass defense. In another loss last year, we desperately tried to run Le'Veon into the teeth of the Ravens defense despite the fact that their pass defense was near the bottom and rush defense near the top of the league. We just do not coach to the opponent, do not coach to specific situations, and just arrogantly think we can go out and beat teams because our players are better. Often times we do, but our coaches can and will get outsmarted by Belichick and others.

The result of this is that we lose a lot of regular season games to teams we are heavily favored to beat, and we lose playoff games to teams who are able to put egos aside and play a strategy that is tried and true to exploit the style we play.

Rockets need an upgrade at the 3 or 4 position. Ariza is ok but they need more from the SF position. He's not as good defensively as he used to be and he's not a reliable shooter or scorer. Ryan Anderson is useless.

Paul George would have been perfect on the Rockets.

Astros just need to address the bullpen problem.

my team is old and unathletic.

Lebron needs to resign during the season and we need to figure out a way to make a trade involving JR Smith/Shump for a defensive wing....And figure out how to get Isiah Thomas back healthy asap.....After that we need to figure out a way to trade the Nets pick for Paul George.....And possibly make a tristan thompson trade.

C: Love
PF:James
SF: George
SG: Robertson or Bazemore
PG:Isiah Thomas

This would be a fantastic start.

Yeah though, just continue tanking properly and acquire top picks the next couple drafts. Keep cap flexibility since most teams capped themselves out, unless you cake on bad contracts attached with 1st round picks, would be fine with that.
