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.

This is an excellent point! Marvin has assembled quality coaching staffs on his own but I'm still confused why he wasn't permitted to make a clean sweep in 2003. He didn't hire Paul Alexander; he was saddled with him like a clean new ship with an oversized outdated anchor.
