The NFL has always been a "who do you know" league more than anything else. The problem with basing your opinions off what their peers say about them is 95% of the time coaches (and players for the most part, although its changing a bit) are going to say something positive. You'd be hard pressed to find any Seattle coaches who said Tom Cable sucked on the way out. 

Joe Thomas knows more than most fans about football, sure, he also refused to say anything bad about Hue Jackson while he was HC and gave him excuses for everything. Being truthful about coaches you've worked with orr coached with isn't something the NFL does

I bet when head coaches look to hire assistants, they're looking at who can help them win since it's their job on the line. Sure, Marrone will look at people he's comfortable with and possibly known before but no one is going to go hire a bad assistant just because they like them.
