Just like you can speculate that Marvin will never win a playoff game, but there is nor proof that is the case.

If Marvin coached the Bengals to 10 more playoff losses and got fired, there would be no proof that he wouldn't have won on his 18th try.

When do you draw the line?

Dungy...... .563 win%.....made playoffs 4 of 6 years
Gruden..... .509 win%.....made playoffs 3 of 7 years

Simple answer for that: The core of players (drafted by Sam Wyche) that helped the Bucs have all that success got old.

Neither Gruden nor Dungy can take credit for those players, but it was Gruden who helped get them over the hump.
