4 games does not define a career, but I said it for a long time about Leyer. He does not have the temperament to be a lasting coach in the NFL for numerous reasons. He hates losing (most coaches do), but he can't grasp that losing 6 sometimes 7 games a year can still get you into the playoffs. Losses eat at him worse than most (see Eddie, Cousin). He was an excellent college coach and rose up the ranks so fast, that he got to places where he was really not on a level playing field. Sure # of schollies is the same, but that is it. In the NFL it is 100% equal. The rules are made so that each team goes .500. The difference is coaching, management, injuries, etc. Perhaps at BG Leyer did not have the majority of the best players, but everywhere else he did. In the NFL, everyone has pros. He never showed me in college that his methods or his demeanor would allow him to out manuever an equal opponent on a regular basis. Roster management is a must and you can't just try and get the best player at every position. You don;t have a single guy who wants to play for you or your team, they just want to get paid b/c they have reached the pinnacle, not trying to get there. Again I am not judging after 4 games, but Leyer does not seem to be long for the NFL IMO.
