There are lots of coaches who are worse than Marvin who have won playoff games, but there are no really great coaches who never won a single playoff game.
It's fair to say Marvin was very good during the 5 year period where they went 52-27-1 and made the playoffs each year. Outside of that run, he's been pretty underwhelming, going just 73-85-2 and having only 2 winning seasons in the other 10 years.
Overall - it seems to me that the most accurate statements about Marvin are that he's been a mediocre head coach for the majority of his tenure, that had a very nice 5 year run of regular season success and that he's also the worst postseason coach in the history of the NFL.
