This quote, addressing the playoff failures, exemplifies the lack of accountability that is often talked about when it comes to Marvin and the coaching staff.

He acknowledges that it's the coaches 'responsibility' to get the players to perform well in the postseason, but then when it doesn't happen, he says they have to get a 'new player'. 

If it's the coaches responsibility and the head coach has failed all 7 times...then it would seem logical that the head coach has failed miserably and should be held accountable. But, Marvin doesn't seem to see himself as very real part of the problem, and evidently doesn't see the incredible irony in his statement.

There it is

People "in general" do what's expected of them. Marvin knows he's not expected to do anything when it gets down to it. That lack of expectations flows thru the entire team and there is no accountability - period.

Losing culture is the way, failure is accepted. Until that fatal flaw is fixed the results will remain the same.
