Sean Payton, a super bowl win, several deep playoff runs, and numerous records would have seemed a MORE solid pedigree for Carmichael. Josh McDaniels had an excellent pedigree. Carmichael had a better pedigree than Carr or DA. But its still possible Carmichael was the biggest big problem and possible as a younger coach Kubiak will bring solutions. But I would say its more likely to have a minimal effect. First problem is Carmichael was probably not the biggest problem. Second problem Kubiak is an unknown commodity with mixed results. Essentially I view it more like when the Falcons switched from Matt Ryan to Mariota / Ridder. No guarantee the replacement would be better, in the end it was a total wash, and it could have been worse, but they were never winning a ring with Matt Ryan anyway so the worst case scenario was a higher draft pick.
