When a regime falls apart in the NFL, there are always versions.
Some people inside franchises will refer to them as “stories” — as in, “let me tell you the whole story.” One side is operating on a full set of chapters that explain what went wrong, while the other side has tailored their own unique edition, filled with alternate tales about the same characters. In some cases, you realize that two sides are telling the same story through different eyes, and it ends up being the same story about the same people, but with versions of events that were processed differently.
