And this is a very quick in no way complete list.
And it is not a list of things that Marvin fails at.
Do you realize you just tried to criticize Marvin for both not "demanding accountability on the field" and "pulling players out for rookie mistakes". So he gets ripped for both holding players accountable and NOT holding players accountable.
It is like criticizing him for both "being too conservative" and "giving up on the run too quickly".
You basically criticize everything Marvin does even when it is what you said he should do. He got ripped constantly for being too conservative in the last minutes of the first half, but when he was aggressive in the last minutes of the half against the Ravens earlier this year he got ripped for that also.
Marvin has more wins against other NFL coaches than he does losses. It is impossible for him to be bad at everything and still have a winning record. Especially when he is handicapped by working for the worst owner in the league.
