In fact, he's routinely rewarded Marvin for his failures. He gets a new deal after 2010, when he had a 60-67-1 record in 8 years and was coming of 3 losing seasons in he previous 4. After the embarrassing playoff meltdowns in '13 and '15, not only was he not fired, he was given extensions both times. Then, this past offseason when his contract was up again and Mike could have easily parted ways without spending a dime, he instead rewards him with another contract despite back-to-back losing seasons.
I mean, Marvin's not stupid. Why in hell would he ever want to leave a gig like this...where he's never responsible for anything and he continuously get rewarded for his failures?
Yep. And what message does that send to the players?
We rarely waive a player for mistakes or poor play. Heck, we keep starting them in some cases.
