If the Buccaneers used this logic, Tony Dungy would've never left. They were terrible before him, but couldn't take the next step in the playoffs with him.We one under 30% of our games before Marvin, small scouting report, Mike Brown as a GM, and no indoor practice facility. How many coaches would be successful under that?
The Rams had a horrific 12 year stretch before McVay. So if McVay goes .500 for the next 14 years, should LA build him a statue? What about Jim Mora and the Saints? Should they look back at him like he was a hero?
If we go on to hire Bieniemy and he does plenty of good, do we credit Marv for Bieniemy's success, or do we consider that maybe some of these crafted narratives about Marv may not be 100% true? That he wasn't the only person on the planet capable of having success in Cincy.
Mcvay has a highly touted GM who is active in getting talent in free agency and the draft. How is his situation compareable to Marvins situation at all?
By the way both Dungey and Mora are legends in the cities that they coached.
