Marvin was considered a pretty good coaching candidate and seemed a lot more driven and passionate back then compared to the Dalton era.
I (I know it wasn't me you asked ) think I am much more excited to have ZT than I was for Marvin. Although the franchise was in a vastly different place then and needed Marvin to bring them in to a more realistic place on talent evaluation and draft process, I never looked at Marv as much of an innovator. His teams were just kind of blah. They would have some exciting times when the talent was here for a while, but it would fade and never reach their potential.
I look at ZT as more of an innovator. Creative. Different. Cerebral. Now, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself with him. He hasn't proven anything here yet, but the thought of a creative, offensive mind with our talent could be very exciting.
He has to nail the defensive coach, and many of the other assistants, but I am much more excited to have him than I was Marvin.
