Just looking at the sample product in the last 20 years, Carl has remained the constant.
The HC has been the difference, and I really enjoyed this team until Marty became desperate at the end. The band of thugs was brought in towards the end of his tenure, in an act of desperation, the way I saw it.

As Dane has pointed out elsewhere, much of the talent that Marty worked with was already here.
There were some good draft picks along the way, but it's been pretty well documented how poorly this franchise drafted through the 90s, and while Carl has the final say, it's also pretty well documented that Carl selects based on his coach's voice.
And this team only remained competitive through free agency, and that isn't the way you build championship teams.
