I dunno.

I think part of the Marvin situation (that finally may have a light at the end of the tunnel for those not liking Marvin), is the people in place. His first several years, a lot of the guys in place weren't Marvin's guys. Those were weeded out and Marvin's guys (or at least the guys installed during his tenure) were put in place. And we had success with that staff. Enough success that those  coaches have been picked off here and there.

But they haven't been replaced with the same level of coaching.

Completely my opinion, but I think part of the reason Mike has left Marvin in control so much was because there was a good structure in place. One of the first hurdles you have to overcome with a new HC is getting him and the current staff on board or cleaning house and getting a staff in place that compliments what he's trying to do.

With several of the better parts of the staff gone, I think it would be easier to transition.
