Marvin came in to a situation with young ascending talent like Chad, P-Dub, Housh, Rudi, a good offensive line, etc. He even kept the OC. He just needed to rebuild the defense via FA and make the obvious choice with Palmer at #1.

Zac came into a situation where most of the "talent" was washed up or a poor fit. AJ Green, Geno, Dunlap, Burfict, Dalton, etc. A horrible o-line. It all needed to go.

Taylor inherited just as much good talent on his team as Marvin did.  Jesse Bates, Tyler Boyd, Sam Hubbard, Carlos Dunlap, Joe Mixon, William Jackson, Carl Lawson, Gio Bernard, and CJ Uzomah.

The facts are that Marvin took over a TWO win team, lost the best player on his defense (Spikes) and the best player on his offense (Dillon) and still won 8 games.

Zac took over a 6 win team and it took him two years to win 6 games.
