So sparky gets no credit as a coach since he had some of the greatest players, sure great solid players make the team great but good coaches mold and scheme their talents to make a team great. Also egos tend to come with great players. And can ruin that Chemistry,  good coaches can control those egos. You cant take the success away that lewis had at Baltimore . 
As for Washington he was there 1 year and was 5th in yards allowed, previous year they were 10th, 25th the 2003 the year after he left...so i guess all the great players left with him lol. 

The Skins were 21st in points allowed under Marvin in 2002...so that 2001 defense was actually better (10th in yards, 13th in points), if we're being objective.

And are we seriously going to act like having a legendary group of talent doesn't matter? 

I'm not saying he should get NO credit, but c'mon now. Coaching Ray Lewis, Rod Woodson, Sam Adams, Rob Burnett, Chris McAllister, Tony Siragusa, Duana Starks, Mike McCrary, Peter Boulware....then Bruce Smith, Darrell Green, Champ Bailey, LaVar Arrington, Jeremiah Trotter and Jesse Armstead had to make Marvin's job a LOT easier.
