Now, he wasn't infallible, of course. He made the Walsh mistake. That's all up to speculation on the FA and Paul Brown. What we do know was that he was always onto some very innovative things in football.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see the FA haul this off-season. 

I feel like Paul Brown would have adapted eventually. He certainly wouldn't have tried the same thing over and over and over. (No GM/small scouting staff)

When the team hired Marvin, they interviewed Coughlin and he supposedly confided in friends that he didn't know if he could win here the way things were structured. He supposedly wanted some front office changes. Presumably a GM and league minimum scouting department. Seems realistic changes. Well here we are like 17 years or so later without either of those.
