Those mid 90's Steelers LBs could have coached themselves they were so good, same for the Ravens D. Marv is like a really, really poor man's Phil Jackson, but with 1/13th the success. And most of Marv's success here has come when he's had good coordinators to lean on.
Bingo.
Marv is far from what anyone should consider to be a “good coach”. He seems far more interested in blame shifting his lackadaisical approach to coaching up players as they just “need to do a better job”. It’s their football team, they need to find a way to fix it
Marvin doesnt get it. He doesn’t know how to coach up players. He doesn’t understand in-game adjustments are a real thing. He’ll go into prevent mode as soon as he has a lead. His team lacks basic tackling fundamentals. They’ re completely undisciplined. They’re mentally weak.
All of these point to a bad coach. Sure, he has won plenty of games. But there’s much more that goes into someone being a good/bad coach than just wins and losses (especially when it really counts... nothing like seeing 16 years worth of Marvs players fold like cheap lawn chairs in big games)
