The problem there is, there's no fear of failing. There's questionable motivation or drive when you get to do a bad job and don't get reprimanded. If we go to the SB this year or if we only win four games, Marvin's just going to shrug it off and say "hey, we tried" while not answering for "how much."
Sorry, but I just can not imagine a guy being motivated enough to become an NFL head coach and then not give a shit about his reputation.
There are a few things to criticize Marvin for, but I don't see lack of effort being one. You think you get upset because your favorite team has a losing record, just imagine how you would feel if you were a huge public persona and your entire identity was defined by that teams record. It has to kill Marvin that he can't win these big games. The fact that he doesn't pitch a fit like a child does not mean he does not care.
Marvin was not handed a coaching job because of his family name or because he was a famous NFL player. He had to work his ass off to get where he is. And I believe he has too much pride in his reputation to just half ass do his job.
