It was Katie that stepped in and got the deal done, and I think she continues to be a big reason- along with Mike's natural reluctance to make changes - that Marvin keeps getting extensions. Marvin has been 'her guy' since day 1.

Yes. Probably an ego investment of sorts in that if Marvin fails to win and is fired it makes their decision to hire him the wrong one.
