Gruden is let go while the Raiders continue to descend, I could see the team bringing in a guy like Marvin to build it up again.

That could be true, but Marvin is going to be our HC for damn near 20 years so I can see the Raiders getting at least 5 out of Gruden.

THIS is the plan, I foresee.

It's possible.  I can only see the Bengals having an actual GM on staff if Mike Brown is completely out of the building in one way or another.  I assume the day Marvin is GM is the day Mike Brown is no longer among the living.

At the presser, Marvin mentioned having a plan. While I'm sure a lot of that was meant for the defense, I do believe he will try to set Hue up for the head coach spot again. Marvin is only signed through the end of next season.

Yep, I'd say the safe bet is that we are back on that succession plan we gave Hue a hard time for abandoning to get his requisite 2.5 years as the HC with the Browns.  I imagine Hue would be our HC right now if he hadn't gone to Cleveland.  Now we are on the same path, but Marvin is set to depart and Hue is set to become HC in 2020 rather than 2018. We could be 11 weeks into the first Hue Jackson coached season right now if the Browns went with anyone else at HC in 2016. Wacky.
