He's Marty with a better playoff record and somehow he's conned / hypnotized / has comprising pictures enough people in the NFL to keep employed.

He had to use Kerry Collins because he was force fed Vince Young. You can't knock him for that and not give him credit for McNair. And around 2004 the Titans were in a disastrous cap situation. Probably one of the worst cases of cap mismanagement in the cap era. They pretty much had to completely dismantle a contender. Lost McNair, Kearse, etc, etc. I'm on my phone so I can't post a link but this isn't hard to research. They were in financial purgatory through the mid 2000s.
That 2008 team had eight Pro Bowlers, and six of them were 28 or under. Chris Johnson, Haynesworth, etc. They did a legit complete rebuild.
