IF Marvin is back, one possible positive I see from this is perhaps a better positional coaching staff.
Somehow it got out in the media a few weeks ago that Marvin was unhappy with the pay of his staff. Presumably this means he doesn't feel he can get or keep top notch coaches around him at the pay scale they offer. Remember when he brought in Chilly to be OC? A deal couldn't be worked out. Remeber the Hayes brothers making lateral moves? I'm pretty sure that was for the increase in pay.
Marvin isn't going to get the GM duties, nor is he going to get final say in player salaries. But maybe, just maybe, they will give him the checkbook when it comes to staff salaries, giving him the ability to attract or retain the best guys to lead each meeting room.
