He's getting the staff he wants. What about players?

Not trashing McVey, but I bet his record would be worse without those 4.

Very good point.
People need to remember that Havenstein was a Jeff Fisher pick, not McVay's. Saffold was already there too before McVay came in.
McVay was able to bring in Whitworth and Sullivan as FAs and then pick Austin Blythe off waivers when Indy cut him, but he hasn't drafted any crazy awesome OL talent yet in his two years of being there.
Any coach who comes to Cincinnati likely isn't going to get to bring in a top-tier OT like the Rams did with Whitworth. They'll have to draft most of their talent and groom them. Or pick up a solid B-tier FA and groom him up.
