This organization is at a crossroads. They can go the lazy route and hire a guy like Hue Stink. Hue Stink would likely be amenable to keeping as much of the current staff as the family wanted. Hue Stink probably doesn't have a lot of other HC options, so he would be unlikely to push for the team to be more active in hiring scouts or signing outside free agents. He'd just be happy to somehow still be a NFL HC. Hue Stink lost almost every game he coached at his last gig, so he's hardened to an even deeper plunge into the dark ages if he can't turn things around with what's here.
There's literally no way this hire can be justified if it happens. It's a total waste of time. I guess if they're just showing a guy they like some respect by giving him a sit-down with the family, then great. It should be nothing more than a gesture.
I really want to think that the Brown family will do the wise thing and start over with a new HC from the outside. I think there's more than a 50 percent chance that they will. It's tough though. Sitting retreads and loyalists like Hue, Simmons, and VJ in front of MB is like sitting a carton of smokes on the table in front of an ex-two-pack-a-day smoker who just gave the habit up for New Years. It's just so comfortable and habitual and easy. Unfortunately, it will also probably kill you (and your fanbase, attendance) in the long term.
If they want a revitalized fanbase and a full stadium in 2019, then they don't give any of these internal guys a real shot. If they want a consistent dose of 30,000 or less drunks showing up 8 Sundays a year to embarrass our city along with the family, then go ahead. Hire Hue Stink. The only reason to fire a guy like Marvin and hire a guy like Hue Stink is Marvin just plain having had enough and amicably resigning. If Hue is the choice, I have to think that Marvin just quit.
