While he hasn't been able to get us over the hump...I question if any coach can win consistently here.
Oh and Marvin was largely here while Roethlisberger was in Pittsburgh and the Ravens were good too. He didn't just come to some weak division.
You may be right but who really knows? Those other coaches had very little talent to work with. I think that's a big reason the prior winning percentage is so low. Say we hired coughlin over Marv in 2003. Maybe coughlin could have got us over that playoff hump... Maybe he could have helped us beat New England in the playoffs and won a couple of super bowl... Or maybe things would have been just as bad as they were with Marvin... Or worse. We'll never know.
But what he do know is Marvin is not the guy. It's inexplicable how some of his team's could perform like super bowl contenders at 1:00 only to melt under the pressure when the lights got too bright (with quite a bit of roster turnover). Marvin just doesn't have "it". No sense in sticking with what obviously doesn't work.
