I actually would be surprised if what is happening has just one thing in common.  Each person likely has their own reasons for saying no.  

I do think part of the challenge is that most of our coaching hires came via Marvin.  With Taylor being young and offensively oriented and mgmts lack of involvement in the assistant hiring process, I believe we simply don't have the relationships with potential hires.  WE have the names, we have the resumes, we lack the personal relationship that often closes the deal.  Case in point...look at his offense hires.  ALL had some sort of prior relationship.

I'm starting to think that they see a historically poor management team who hired a young QB coach with little coaching experience as their HC and then filled other positions with inexperienced people and they are deciding to steer clear of it.

That's my guess. And they viewed Marvin as the reason this team was above average and his departure worries them.
