And Marrone?

When Caldwell got here, did he clean house and get a new staff? Or did he get stuck with the last regime as a holdover? Shad admits that Caldwell was insistent he clean house, so why did he wait a year? Could it be that our owner was too involved early on? I think Dave was too young and too weak to stand up for himself, and I strongly suspect the same with Bradley hiring. It's hard to take any "after the fact" commentary as gospel truth, so that link doesn't mean much. What about the Marrone hiring? Did Dave have full say on that? Or was it Coughlin? We don't know. 

What we do know, is that there hasn't been a clean slate since Khan got here. Fire everyone. Hire a quality GM, then get out of the way.

And I don't mean that we can't keep a few assistant coaches. I'd be fine with keeping Cullen or McCardell (when he was here).

However, I do want a GM/Coach tandem that are tied at the hip. Win, or you're both gone. This is the best way to run an NFL franchise, imo. I don't think you should ever have leadership that remains when you clean out the previous regime unless the GM has clearly established himself.
