Easily Dave.

Yeah. No way to justify Wash staying regardless of Marrone's status  - and I'd add Warhop to that list as well. How in the hell do you hire an O-Line coach with such a horrible track record in the first place?  That's yet another strike against Marrone IMO.

It's a case of you get who will work for you. I wasn't overly impressed with Flop either, his scheme may have been hindered by the personnel weaknesses, but his play calling was predictable and pretty unimaginative most of the year. And if Marrone stays there aren't many who will come here to work for him since he's already hanging on by a thread. It's just not going to work if Marrone stays, because he'll pretty much have to keep his assistants, and we just can't have that going into the offseason.

Nah, I think you can judge him on the coaches and frankly, they weren't that bad at the time. Bradley was a great guy and the next big thing while Marrone was already a familiar and the team clearly responded to his style at first. Everyone wants to judge in hindsight, but the Marrone hire paid dividends the following year. What's happened since is a cluster though, and it's time for a clean sweep of the coaching staff. I'm 50/50 on Caldwell, but I'd lean toward keep rather than replace. What happened to the roster and salary cap the last two years has TC's fingerprints all over it.
