I get it.
For myself, I'm not that mad at Embree. I mean, Andy obviously gave him the job because he does that sort of thing with all of his young coaches. He gives them a position group or whatever for a season or two, then moves them to a different spot, and so on. From a coaching perspective, I think it makes sense. It's like an internship each year, and should make for better, more well-rounded coaches down the road.
And maybe Andy thought, as you and others did, that the WR room was going to basically be the same as last season, and the guy wouldn't have to do a whole lot to keep them at that level. Maybe Andy just didn't see a chance for this kind of regression, so why not give the kid basically a 'babysitter' coaching role?
Unfortunately, things didn't work out that way. But I can't really blame Embree that much for all of this. He's just the easiest guy to blame because he happens to have the WR coach title at the moment.
