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 actually disagree Brad. Marv is really good at identifying talent at times and is really good at putting a team together.
His problems stem from not being the best motivator and being too damn conservative as a Head Coach.
I don't know if Marv would want to go to the FO anyways, but i would not see it as a terrible thing. Marv knows football.
He is just not a great HC clearly. We will see what happens this year but i think we are going to do some damage with the
improved O-line and Defense that comes from that improvement. I really believe that Lazor, Austin, Pollack are all being thought about to be the next HC in a couple years.
