It's one of the few compliments I can still pay him. May be it is because the pressure is off, as you suggest, but I've seen plenty of other teams just mail it in in similar situations.
Well sometimes the coach isn't really popular with the players, so why try to save his job? I do think the players like Marvin. He's definitely a player's coach.
I honestly think the negative of failing when the pressure is on outweighs the benefit of players "not giving up" during lost seasons.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
