They've obviously lost some good coaches but anyone with a brain should recognize their star level talent deficiencies.  It's easy not to be so great when you don't have NFL kids on offense.   Their offensive talent is pedestrian.

Since 2021 (2 years) they've haven't really had any offensive players taken in the draft (2023 had a 5th round G and TE big deal).

2021 - draft was incredible.  1st round Lawrence, Etienne, Amari Rodgers, w/a 2nd round Guard.
2020 - 7 draft picks including 2 first rounders and Tee Higgins in the 2nd
2019 - 3 first round picks including Hunter Renfrow in R5
2017 - Mike Williams/DeShaun Watson
2016 - 9 draft picks

In the past 2 years they've had 8 draft picks and half were round 5 or lower.  6 of 8 kids on defense.

Further, it's not like they haven't had top 10 recruiting classes every single year but the recruit rankings for them have been wrong.  There have been some massive misses at QB, WR, RB.  A bunch of 4 and 5 star kids since 2019 who aren't even on the team anymore.
