Here's my search for HCs with at least 5 years experience, and may be a little outdated. Didn't have time to go over current records, so found a Wiki page with all NFL coaches and sorted by years in the league so we can compare him to other coaches. There are many more, so please feel free to add, but thought 11 current and former would be a good starting point to debate what exactly a "good" coaches record looks like (establish a baseline).

Lets see where Marv stands.

Go ahead and Rank 'em.

Don't know how you came up with this list, but I can help you make it more clear.

There have been 151 NFL head coaches with at least 5 years experience.  Marvins .543 winning% is better than 91 of them.  Not great but clearly better than most.

Marvin has made the playoffs more than 127 (84%) of them.  

Marvin is one of the 44 of those coaches (30%) who have not won a playoff game. 

So basically this solves nothing.  It all still depends on how much weight you give to losing in the playoffs.  For example there are 16 of these coaches who have won a playoff game (no championships), but had losing career records and only made the playoffs 1 or 2 times.  The question becomes are these guys better head coaches than Marvin just because they won a playoff game.  It is all subjective.
