I'll tell you why I blame him so much.
This is Year #3 of the Spags regime. The team has not gotten any better since Year #1, when they went 1-15. No improvement in three years in unacceptable.
Forget the 0-5 record. I can live with losses if there is progress. It's the way they lose. There is zero progress. They get blown out every week. There are no "moral victories", they simply get embarrassed week in, week out. Same dumb penalties, same drops, same sloppy play...
You can blame the players if you want, and that's fine. But that's on Spags, too. He has roster control (why a first time head coach with no track record has so much power is beyond my understanding, but that's a different issue), and these are his players. There are roughly only a half dozen players remaining from the Linehan Rams. He picked these guys. His triad of ex-Giants bums (Fred Robbins, Craig Dahl, James Butler) who all stink, to washouts and failures like Jason Smith and Mike Sims-Walker, and FA failures like Ben Leber. The Rams have no talent, and that's on Spags.
His game management is a flat out joke. He has no grasp of time management or how to use time outs. He gave up and quit against the Giants Week 2 by punting on a 4th down with over two minutes left and no timeouts in a two score game (which should have gotten him fired). Tom Coughlin promptly had Eli take three knees to end the game. On just about any 3rd and 10 or longer, the Rams go to the patented Spags "give up run", which he obviously is calling for because we all know Josh McDaniels is NOT conservative, and it was the same under Pat Shurmur. Three years is too long to still be lost on the sideline. The man simply doesn't get it, and likely never will.
No talent, sloppy play, bad game management. What exactly does this guy bring to the table? Why shouldn't I be all over him? What has improved or gotten better since the Linehan era? Nothing.
Scott Linehan was a joke who nobody thought was a good coach. Spags constantly gets a pass and for some odd reason never catches blame. Here are the facts, through 36 games:
Linehan: 11-25
Spags: 8-28 (now 8-29)
Steve Spagnuolo is a nice man, but he's a terrible head coach and he needs to be fired. Let's face facts, if not for this play...
...Spags never snifs a head coach job, and is probably coaching DB's somewhere. His entire reputation was built on David Tyree making a circus catch.

Haters gonna hate. Did you really go outta your way to edit my post. A new level of bitchassness has reared its head.
