“We have had a dramatic change with our team,” Brown said. “It isn’t fully understood. We have changed our whole offensive system. We have changed our defensive system. Usually, that is associated with hiring a new coach. We did it a little bit differently.”
“We brought in new coordinators and let them have their chance at it,” Brown said. “This will make us look different. It will be a challenge to digest for our players. It usually takes a little time. I will be holding my breath some as we start out with it. There will certainly be a few ups and downs with it. It should produce real change with the football team and we are trying to have change. We are trying to see if something a little different won’t be better.”

Mike's idea of 'change' was to re-sign the head coach who hadn't won a playoff game in 15 years and was coming off back to back losing seasons. This is what I mean about Mike being lazy and unmotivated...he simply re-signs Marvin, and Marvin goes out and gets a few new coaches. Mike isn't required to really do anything, other than speculate if doing something a 'little different' will work.
Now, I will give him credit for finally firing Alexander...after 2 1/2 decades.
