I really liked Marvin as a person, and he turned the culture of the team around on a dime when he got here. Alot of folks might not remember the pre-Marvin days. So, I respected him as a coach, too. I just think the game left him behind a little bit, and alot of the later draft picks during his reign never panned out like we'd all hoped. I'm thinking of not just Ogbuehe and Fisher, but guys like PJ Dawson. 

Plus, I don't think Marvin was a fan of free agency. We never saw the volume of free agents like we've seen this year, obviously. Marvin, I would guess, with a pretty confident person to think that he could push guys to do their jobs. He never quit on guys, when he probably should have (Maualuga). 

I sort of feel bad for him. He also had alot of things go wrong, like that 2015 playoff game especially with the Hill fumble and then the Burfict/Pacman penalties. Then when Dalton came back in 2016 and beyond, he was just never the same guy, losing Sanu and Jones didn't help. I think he should have pushed harder to keep guys like that and Whitworth on the team. But not all the blame for those things are Marvin's fault alone. 

Taylor had a rough first season, but he seems smart and up with the times. I'm thinking we probably win 9-10 games this year with the improvements we've already made and the improvements to come.
