So what would it look like IF free agents viewed a team as toxic and stayed away? Well maybe about 5-6 defensive coordinators would turn us down before one accepted.
There's just been rumors for so long that free agents don't view this franchise as attractive. Heck, I can find articles from early 2000 about how our scouting practices are antiquated. 15+ years later...they're similar.
I absolutely agree with this.
Before the media all wanted Marvin gone as much as we did as fans.
Lewis was a respectable coach and players would gladly play for him.
Good coaches would come work for him as well.
Taylor has no clout what-so-ever.
Marvin had guys pulling for him from day one around the league at all levels.
We shall see how long this New Dey coach lasts here.
I hope he turns it around and it doesn't keep sliding more into toxicity or it may very well be short lived for him.
