If they go from worst to first, Marrone and Coughlin deserve tons of credit.

Absolutely those 2 guys deserve the most credit as they have changed the culture of this team. Marrone's sideline demeanor reminds me a little of Bellichek- very little emotion and totally business-like. 

I think we have to give Caldwell some credit, also. Throw out the drafting of Blake and hiring/extension of Bradley (2 incredibly huge blunders) and look at the guys he was mostly responsible for acquiring: Ramsay, Jack, Yannick, Fowler (looking much better), Telvin and Robinson. Although Coughlin made the final decisions on last year's free agents and draft picks, we also have to give Caldwell at least some credit for drafting Fournette, Cam and Westbrook and the best one year free agent haul of ANY TEAM in recent memory. As someone who wanted him fired for those major blunders, I must praise him for the good things he has done.
