I've said this a lot, but aside from anger in-the-moment, i'm not really sure it's accurate. 

Short of just not putting players on the field that can produce positive plays, anything a coach calls, play wise, can be overruled by the QB on the field, and once the play is run regardless of the call, it's up to the players to execute it and make it positive or negative. 

So while i'm not nearly a Marvin fan, more of the success/failure of the team has to be on the guys executing the plays. Bad individual decisions; going for it on 4th down or kicking a FG when they should go on 4th down, those plays are far more the exception than the other 60-80 plays that are run during the course of a game.
