Quote:Really am bummed Coughlin couldn't be brought in to coach, but I have faith whoever we hire will be better than Bradley. I honestly wouldn't mind Marrone. 

 

Coughlin was a favorite name to hear, but IMO it was going to be a difficult sell for both sides... Tom was fired from here.  That's difficult for both sides to reconcile, regardless of the circumstances.

 

I thought Marrone had earned an interview... perhaps he still has, but as more time passes since considering that idea I'm not sold on keeping any single piece of the current coaching staff.

 

I'd rather we start completely new and keep nothing at all from it.  We've always tried to retool this or that, or the other while trying to keep "continuity."

 

And that's what we've ended up with... continuity of losing.
