That's because he canned the talent that we had before because the players "didn't fit his system." I remember thinking during the preseason that he was kicking all the best players off the team. (I don't remember who they were too clearly now, although I do remember one was Larry Centers who provided a tremendous option coming out of the backfield). For a while it looked like he was trying to get rid of #28 as well. A good coach (especially one who is new to a team) should be able to adjust to utilize the strengths of his players, and not ditch good players because they don't fit in his scheme.
