I don't disagree, I'm not a Fassel supporter. You don't assemble a staff and tell a potential coaching candidate, "here's the staff we built for you", now go get 'em!! That's what I'm getting at.
Worked for Dallas.

Ok after looking up meeks on the Colts official web site I'm for him. He used to be a Skins coach. Sorta promoting with in except we let him get seasoned first.

Exactly!! End result was Wade Phillips, ours is fassel (RETREADS). I don't think any young up and coming coach whether it's Meeks, Spagnuolo, Ryan, Schwartz is going to agree with this type of situation.

Dallas had a great season under Phillips. And, I do believe a young upcoming coach would agree to the situation because it makes it easier on them. They don't have to round up a coaching staff, one is already set in place. If the coaching staff isn't working, of course the guy can make a change, but if I was an assistant coach in the NFL and was given the opportunity to become a first time head coach, I'd love to know that there was a coaching staff set in place.
I don't know about the rest of the coaches, but Joe Gibbs already had Richie Petitbone set to run the defense when he first became HC.

Didn't the Dolphins hire a few coaches this year (though not the coordinators) before hiring Sparano as head coach?

yes, they did.
