There's a segment of our fan base that doesn't understand pace adjustments, so they will always think that a faster offense > a slower offense, and that a passing offense > a rushing offense (because of a running clock vs the potential for a frozen clock). They also tend to think that offenses and defenses work in silos, and that an offense giving a defense room to work with and rest doesn't add value.

There's also a segment of our fanbase that likes shiny new toys. They will always blindly support the current coach, only to turn on him as soon as he turns into the former coach.

Lester's offense was slower, and it ate more clock, and he was part of the old staff. So, there's literally nothing that you can say to some people to convince them that he actually did a good job during the short time that he was our OC.

**Before I get jumped on for being a "Dino hater," I think that he's done a fantastic job w/ the defense (we were surprisingly good this year), and although I don't think that his offense is better on the field yet, I do think that he's bringing in serious talent, which will make it better soon. He was a good hire, and he is a good coach.**
