That one decision alone has tanked the Defense.
Which one made that decision, Fred ?
Was Teryl Austin Mike's guy or Marvin's guy, Fred ?
Was poor old Marvin hamstrung by his GM into hiring Teryl, Fred ?
I assume it was Marvin's decision, but Marvin has also selected multiple coordinators that did so well they got head coaching gigs (Frazier, Gruden, Zimmer).
I don't think Mike has handicapped Marvin at all with his coaching decisions, but I don't know for sure. I think the worst damage Mike has done has been his refusal to sign decent free agents to fill holes in our roster. That lack of talent has reduced Marvin's ability to win games.
