However, Marvin's been here for 15 of those years now. He's basically become part of the 'family'. He's also part of the problem, which is why he also deserves his share of the blame.
Hell when you look at the history of this franchise, even with Paul, there have only been 3 seasons out of the previous 49 where they've had any postseason success. This fan base is desperate to see a playoff win.
That's why, if Marvin is fired or decides not to return, fans will celebrate. Why? Because that's the only hope we have -- hope that (somehow, someway) a new coach can do the impossible and overcome ownership to win a Super Bowl, or at least a damn playoff game.
Yeah basically Coach is the highest level on the org chart that will change.
It's asking a lot for a coach to come in here and succeed. You have to be a great scout/drafter. You have to be a great coach. A great strategist.
It's a lot. I honestly don't think we'll ever see a run of like 3 years or so with a playoff win. I think the best we can hope for is catching lighting in a bottle.
