I've always said that what fans deem "success" heavily relies on progression.
You have parroted this as well, in the past.
Marv winning the division in his 13th year and losing his 7th straight playoff game isn't going to hit the same as Zac winning the division in his 3rd year.
Hence why Marvin had much more goodwill in 2005 than he had in 2015. He hadn't taken that next step. The division title WAS the next step for Zac. If he sticks around another decade and goes 0-7 in the playoffs, people will hate the guy.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
