This is probably our best chance in years to move on from Marv. He didn't get extended and Mike inexplicably let the 2 best players from a terrible o-line leave without making any effort to improve.
It almost feels like Mike is setting Marv up. Of course, Marv wasn't extended heading into 2010, and we all remember what happened then.

7-9 easy. That would mean we didn't have a disastrous season and there would be plenty of talent and reason for hope with a new coach.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
