This made me just as confused as when people on here mention it.

We've given him 15 years and, yes, he did help change the culture and brought us some winning seasons, but he hasn't gotten us over the hump and what qualities has he shown that make anyone think that he can run the business side of things or is good at identifying talent?

I agree that he got Mike to make a lot of changes and give up a lot of power, but Mike's getting old and he's not going to want to have to deal with all that, so bring in a pro, not Marvin.

Of course, we could win a playoff game and make it an irrelevant point, but I think it's just a stupid thought to want him in the front office.

I will say that Marvin has shown no apparent interest in such a position, but I don't think he was retiring in the so-called succession plan with Hue Jackson.  I think one of his biggest strengths is talent evaluation.  He would make a fine front office assistant GM or something, but I wouldn't want Marvin being the one to do contracts or be their cap-ologist.  That is way out of his league.  The thing is, how much would Marvin be compensated for such a position?  And wouldn't a future head coach rather not be handed players selected by the guy he replaced?

I don't know, but I don't see that position approaching anything close to what he made as a coach and I don't know how much he would want such a position for a salary likely under a million.
