Since he does not he's gone like a soldier in the civil war bang bang (Montgomery Gentry song for those not familiar)
Not necessarily. While it's true that Mike won't fire a coach with years left on his deal, the "lame duck" status didn't stop Mike from bringing Merv back after we went 4-12 in 2010.

I'm sure they'll agree to spin it in whatever way works best for the team (Mike intentionally not renewing Marvin's contract so that Mike can appear to want to win, for example), but either way, I think Marvin's done and Mike knows it.
Merv throwing players under the bus every week (Hill, Ross, Bullock) leads me to believe he's very much NOT done.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
