Are these 4 men the anomaly or are they representative of his hiring decisions. Are we just being impatient with the current coaching team and not giving them enough time to gel? We did see improvement towards the very end of the season especially on the defense. On offense the changes came mainly due to injury so its hard to determine how much was coaching. I do understand the issues with Paul Alexander but lets be real that is a Mike Brown decision and when he leaves will be of his own accord. I don't think Marvin gets a say in that.
To be honest Marvin has been a Head Coach for 14 years.
He's had to assemble a lot of coaching staff in that time - especially with some of the resource turnover recently due to regular season success.
So if you do it long enough you're bound to have picked some good 'uns along the way who can develop and become HC's themselves. Not sure there's anything in Lewis' selection in themselves which makes him any better than anyone else.
As an aside - I'm not one of those who were pushing for Vance Joseph as HC but I did think it was classy that he opened his Broncos conference thanking all the HC's he had worked for previously (including Marv)
