I agree Ghost the coach SHOULD have a say in building his team in addition to developing it. However I think by sheer force of personality and a meddling tendency Jones handcuffed any meaningful input JG might have had in that area. Jerry was the GM and let it be known that he was the one that made the decisions on personnel. He "bought the groceries " then expected JG to cook. Ur point is well taken on locker room culture JG by example set high expectations in how players should conduct themselves and should be commended for that. My criticisms of him center around as u said his failure to develop players, not having his team "prepared" to play each week and his poor in game decision making/strategy.
