With even average coaching and management we should start winning playoff games...

Well so I have a theory. The 90's was just an outlier. Really bad. Inept drafting. Bad coaches.

Then Marvin gets here and we become average. And management loves it because we're not 3-13 every year.

Now, here's where it went south. Other teams fire coaches in 4-5 years for no playoff wins and repeat that. So they eventually win playoff games over time. Law of averages. Change enough things enough times and you eventually find something that works.

Here, we refused to make a change fearing the 90's again. The 90's are an extreme outlier for any franchise. Unlikely to happen if you draft well.
