I too am a lifelong diehard Fins fan (started with Dan Marino in the 80's) but I don't think this season is all Ricky's fault. This team has had a number of issues the last couple of years that have been masked by a very good defense and a good running game. Wannstedt was a cancer! I was happy when he was no longer allowed to make the personel decisions, but I am even happier now that he is not coaching!
I don't think it is Jay or AJ's fault either. Let it be said that I think Feeley should be the starter so that we know if he has a future. We need to use the rest of this season to evaluate what we have and begin to mark the direction this team will be heading in the next few years. It's a given that our O-Line is horrible but where else do we need to improve? Is it at QB? RB? Linebacker? DE? Special Teams?
Also, I'm not convinced Speilman is the answer either. I think with a decent O-Line Lamar Gordon, Morris, and Minor or good enough to win at running back next year. But our defense is getting old. And too much of our salary cap money is wrapped up in the D. BTW, this is a Defense that has basically given up this season.
I think our biggest problem is ownership, but it's not something that is really fixable.
