Which implies that he will only miss the players. Which implies he didn't care for the city, the FO or the fans.
Is it possible he didn't really mean to say all that? Absolutely, but that's definitely how that statement should be interpreted.
I didn't see this as trashing Marvin at all. More trashing the FO, and maybe not even that. Seems OP was wondering if there was a rift between Marv and the Front Office. Not sure why we're twisting that and getting all defensive.
He didn't trash anything at all, not even the FO. Did you miss the part where he mentioned his relationship with the Brown family, Mike, and the friendship they've built? He said all of that as well right around the remarks about the players.
As far as the city is concerned, he did a lot for the city and helped a lot of people and kids through various foundations and community projects. He wouldn't have done all of that if he didn't care for the city, nor would he have kept re-upping his deals if he hated where he was.
I detest Marvin the head coach, but the guy has integrity and hasn't cried sour grapes or been negative, really. He's a class act of a person, no question there but people keep looking for dirt on him personally. Why? There's plenty to crap on his coaching performances, but as a man he's A+. Kind of like a certain QB everyone has an affinity for.
