Yea, Marvin's problem was performance in clutch spots, not culture.

I was hopeful when ZT was hired (it had the feeling of a McVay hiring, where you think the only way a guy that young is hired is if he is truly, truly exceptional in every way).

Then, when they hired a guy who had never been a defensive coordinator outside of an interim job at Miami, I was skeptical...It wasn't like Lou was some spring chicken either. He was in his 50s and had never held down a DC job on a full term basis before.

Then, when they hired an offensive coordinator who had never been an offensive coordinator before, I was a genuinely concerned. It seemed like we were crafting a coaching staff that had, collectively, about 1 full season of experience at their respective positions. That's not great for a team desperately in need of revision across the entire roster. But he had experience as a QB coach and was young, so I thought he had potential, especially considering who his dad was.

Then, when they announced he was hiring the bully and homophobe from the Miami Dolphins as his Oline coach, I was legitimately concerned and starting to think this coaching staff might not know what the **** they're doing. But I kept my hope alive, maybe out of necessity. It was, after all, a new dey.

It's a shame that it all turned out just as people feared it would. I just hope that the front office recognizes their mistake and corrects it before Burrow comes back from injury.
