I'm not a Beane apologist because of his very jealous statement about the Rams years ago, but how much of the above is on the HC?Plus, they are not hitting on a lot of draft picks
Snead with Fisher hit on most of the defense picks but failed on 90% plus on the offense picks. Under McVay the hit rate has dramatically increased. Same GM.
The key is the HC is better able to communicate precisely what he wants, does a great job putting the drafted players in those roles he envisioned (except for Tutu), and he has a staff who teaches and develops.
We need to wait for the next HC to say whether Beane is good or bad.
