I think Belichick wants to win every single game he coaches, just as every coach does. He's also proven he can rise to the challenges of postseason play.
Marvin has yet to prove he can win a single playoff game.
They are coaches that achieved different levels of success in the postseason...but no, they aren't better than Belichick because Belichick is arguably the greatest of all-time.
Also, it doesn't change the fact that Marvin hasn't beaten anyone in the playoffs.
Again, Harbaugh was a good coach who was able to achieve a level of success in the postseason, but Belichick is perhap the greatest of all-time. So no, Harbaugh isn't better.
And once again, Marvin hasn't won a single playoff game.
You're point about Belichick here has no bearing on the reality of Marvin's failures. Of course Belichick's losses count. His teams lost those games and they're a part of his record. However, there is this thing called perspective. When you balance Belichick's losses with all the playoffs wins, SB appearances and Championships...it's fairly obvious that he's probably the best ever at competing in the postseason.
When you look at Marvin's playoff record, and apply the same perspective, you see that he has failed in the postseason in a way that defies probability. Only one coach in the entire history has failed to win a playoff game with at least 7 appearances and 15 seasons. Only one.
Yeah, I agree that using Belichick in an way, shape or form to make any type of analogy or comparison to a coach that has set NFL records in playoff futility would be absolutely crazy.
That is a lot of words to say nothing. Do you even undertand the point I was trying to make?
If there is some special way to win in the playoffs then why do bad coaches sometimes beat good coaches?
If nothing matters but the coaching then why don't the same coaches win every single year?
Why do the same coaches win one year and then lose another year?
The fact that Marvin has not won a playoff game does not mean he can not win a playoff game.
