It seems people on this board will always find something to gripe about.

What you're seeing is that it makes Marrone's job easier (not that it's is easy) to build staff based on 

his own reputation (remember when JDR and gus had a hard time attracting quality coaching staff) and the fact that Coughlin is on board as Vice President of Football operations.

 

Don't you want Tom to make Doug aware of some guys that are willing to jump ship and join this staff?

Do you think they would even consider the opening and be available if Tom wasn't here?

 

Comon'....you can't have it both ways. Quit looking for a bogeyman in everything Tom, Doug and Dave (once we get to draft and FA) do,

Just relax and watch it all unfold!  :thumbsup:

 

Or would you rather have gus back.  :yucky:
