Should Taylor be fired? Yes, absolutely. The sooner the better.
Should there be changes to the front office? Yes, absolutely, but there won't be.
That's it right there, 100%.
We need another Marvin-caliber hire. We may forget, but when he came here he was THE number 1 candidate for a HC job, and a guy that was due for a promotion for a year or two. He could have had any job available that year. People groaned when Mike Brown wanted Coughlin over him. He presided over feared, swarming defenses that smothered opponents and was arguably the most respected DC in football. He ran the defense that was basically overshadowed only by the 85 Bears in the historical sense.
We don't need to get cute and hire some guy that's riding the coattails of the flavor of the year. We need to compete and hire a guy that is respected enough to build a real staff and get respect from veteran players.
Marvin's faults were exposed n the long run, but you'll have that over a 13 year span with this front office. He was a terrific hire compared to the shit show we have now. Even without the freedom Taylor had with free agents and staff hires, he made something of this team.
