I'm pretty sure that Marv has done this before, back when Leslie Frazier was DC. If that is any comfort.

Please do not bring Hue in here to be HC.
It's tough to defend Hue, but I'll give it a try. Gregg Williams is getting wins with a roster Hue helped build, but never got a chance to coach. At least not without a cancerous Todd Haley gunning for his job and sowing discord with Hue to help achieve his goal. Those first 2 years were obvious tank jobs, so IMO Hue never got a real shot to coach the Browns. It's a shame, because he'll probably never coach again thanks to public perception revolving around that abysmal record.
As for his time in Cincy, he only coached one of the best offenses in team history. What happened afterwards with Zampese wasn't Hue's fault. Nor was it Hue's fault that Sir Elton wanted Bodine, Ogbuehi and Fisher. Those are the picks that cost the offense a few years.

The offense was bad, but got knocked out of their gameplan as a result of the defense literally being turnstiles. It was pretty much like the KC game, save for Mixon actually playing well yesterday, all things considered.
I will add that when the defense allows the opposing offense to build a quick 2 TD lead, it makes our offense one dimensional and allows the opposing defense to send everyone back in coverage and deploy their best edge rushers.
The offense was bad yesterday, but they've easily been the better unit this year. You just can't be reasonably be mad they didn't hang 52 points to win. You could say that a SB type of offense could do that, but I'd respond by saying a SB level defense wouldn't necessitate that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
