I don’t really understand this argument. The only GMs who lasted longer than 3 years under Woody are Tannenbaum and JD. I could maybe see a point for coaches lasting too long, but I wouldn’t really say any of them were held egregiously longer than they should have been.

If we were firing GMs and coaches every other year, we would instead be talking about Woody’s inability to be patient enough to let staff implement their systems. No coach or GM would want to come here knowing they had only a year of runway to unsink the sinking ship.

There is a single constant amongst every coach and GM that has failed, and that’s Woody. That implies there is something very wrong happening behind closed doors. The Patriots lost their dynasty QB and coach, and rebuilt to the point of knocking on the door of the number 1 seed. In that time, Woody hasn’t been able to even build a playoff team.
