This is good news, right?

But there are 32 NFL coaches, and two of them wanted Adam Stenavich as their offensive coordinator.
Also I think we can say that our OL seemed to maximum what they had, despite many injuries, and Rodgers and the quick passing game certainly helped, but also I believe Stenavich was the running game coordinator as well.
So keeping the OL and running game as strong as possible is an extremely key aspect. To this offense.
That being said, I disliked how MM kept promoting from within, to the point I felt like coaches were out of place of their natural coaching positions.
Like a guy who's coach RB all of his career was coaching QBs. With all due respect, people sometimes look down on running back coaches at the more instinctual position... and I've wondered if that's what has heard Chief's OC Eric Bieniemy back, he's basically always coached RBs... Until he became offensive coordinator. Well that, and he's African-American (very few of those are head coaches right now) and all of Andy Reid's offensive coaches who have become head coaches have struggled so far. Reid's defensive and ST coordinators (Bills/Ravens) have had better luck.
But I'll be very interested in how this team tries to improve their offense this offseason. Do you try to improve the OL or get more weapons? Jenkins is probably out, and whom knows how Baktari knee will be next year.
But I do wonder about the decision to select RT Kelly over LT Nijman. I mean I think I understand, Kelly was so dominant I'm the run game, that you didn't want to bench him, but Nijman was clearly better in the passing game and giving Rodgers as much time as possible was key as well. Also, I'm wondering did the consider Kelly at OG and Nijman and Tuner at OG? I mean that's not ideal due to Kelly's 6'7" frame is hard to get low in the interior, but that might of gotten the best 5 on the line at once, and these decisions were probably Stenavich decisions, or at minimum he probably had great input to them.
So bottom line, I doubt we fans have enough information to tell, and can only guess. But in theory keeping the OL and running game going seems smart.
