That's the point I was trying to get at. Some seem to think that Marvin has just now gained the ability to pick/control his own staff, but the reality is that Marvin has always brought in his own guys.
Even in the case of Alexander, I think it was a combination of both. Marvin promoted him when he got hired in 2003 because Buffalo wanted to interview him, and he talked about that a few years later - which I posted in one of the other threads - about how important Alexander was to him, and Mike's always loved him some Alexander and has always been very content with him.
Like I said earlier, Mike deserves blame for a lot of things, but the coaching staff isn't one of them.
