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.

I don't think it's half assed.....I just think there's no urgency to mix things up when there's little chance of getting canned.  Obviously, something isn't working when it comes to postseason, Stoolers, and some prime time games (those have gotten better, admittedly, but still not where it should be).  He's become too complacent, in my opinion.  Maybe this season will be different with the dismissal of a couple lifers, and new blood among the ranks.  Time will tell.
