He has also been very succesful on his challenges.
And screaming has zero to do with being a good coach. Guys lioke Dungy and Landry won multiple Super bowls without squealing on the sidelines.
While others like Lewis go 0-7 in the playoffs including 5 straight exits in the wildcard round and multiple choke-jobs in front of National prime-time audiences.
It is beyond clear that Marvin will not change his personality and that is fine, but whatever his personal approach to the game is (as a Head Coach) it has not resulted in clutch wins for the most part, most especially when it counts the most: The postseason.
As to the bolded part of your post, well that is true, but the problem is Marvin is not Tony Dungy or Tom Freaking Landry. He is Marvin, and while those two won World Championships ole Marv is 0-7 in the playoffs with a more than disheartening five straight first round exits in 13 seasons.
Bottom line: Dungy's and Landry's approach resulted in Super Bowls. Marvin's approach has resulted in......well he's won a lot of regular season afternoon games and after 13 seasons that should be more than enough for even the most staunch defender of Lewis to realize that he just does not have what it takes to get this franchise where it wants or deserves to be.
