Actually I did the exact opposite of this. Mike Brown is the only one who has been here through the 26 year playoff drought. So the only logical way to look at it is to break it down based on when Marvin was here and when he was not.
And here is what you get.

Same thing with Gruden, Zimmer, and Jackson. If you want to claim that they carried Marvin to the playoffs you have to compare what they have done with Marvin and without him.
"Zimmer, Gruden, and Jackson deserve all the credit for Marvin making the playoffs."
"So they also deserve all the blame for the playoff flops when they were here."
"No. That is all Marvins fault. Zimmer, Gruden, and Jackson only coached during the regular season when they were here."
