You know, Samhain, this seems like a plausible scenario as far as who Mike will hire and what that coach will have to work with.
The only problem I've always had with this line of thinking is that Marv had plenty of teams that were talented, had good coordinators and yet he still lost in the playoffs. So the Mike Brown factor isn't enough to stop Marv from going 11-5, but it does keep Marv from winning playoff games?
I'm not going to deny that Marv has had things to work through though. A grade B free agent or two probably could've helped...but why have so many of our good players up and disappeared in the playoffs? Andy, AJ (to an extent), Hill, Gio, Atkins, Dunlap, Palmer, Chad, TJ, Rudi, etc etc. Gotta be a coaching/preparation issue.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
