Certain he has always asked for it and when given a little in 11 when he threatened to leave he proved his worth by making playoffs 5 straight years..
Then it seemed to revert back when Jones, Sanu, Whit, Zeitler and Nelson amongst others were let go without adequate replacements ready.
Not saying he never gave great effort when not having total control but just like last year. He almost certainly wanted OL help but was given a WR. You can think you are trying your best but those sort of things weigh one down some mentally.
Not sure but do know something changed this off season and I am very happy because of it.
Hope Marvin gets it done and FO allows coaches to run their own teams from then on.
Just speculation though mostly because I certainly have felt Marvin has always been handcuffed by FO.
He Checked out after we lost Whitworth. I remember Collinsworth saying he wanted to retire after that in the Texans Game last season. I think everyone knew we were done after that.
