If there was some secret magic to winning in the playoffs then the same coaches would be winning all the time. But that just doesn't happen. The fact is that some very poor coaches have won playoff games and some very good ones have lost playoff games.
So that fact that Marvin has coached good enough to have a winning record against playoff teams the last couple of years is a pretty good indication that he is good enough to win a playoff game. The fact that he hasn't is a bit of a mystery, but the rules and players are the same in the playoffs as in the regular season. So I am not in favor of dumping Marvin just because he has not won a playoff game yet.
I don't disagree with a word you typed. I feel that he's "good enough" as well, for the reasons you stated. The point of the "replace Marv" crowd is that, not only hasn't he won in the playoffs despite these truths, he's lost badly--6 times--and looked like a deer-in-the-headlights before the last couple. Given so many chances, he's failed every single time when all the logic dictates he should have won at least one of them, if not more. The Chargers game...i mean, talk about 'silver platter'. :angry:
