That's the thing. I don't know if that was limited to just Marvin, or if it was an organizational thing.

He loved him.
If you say so. Marvin dumped all over Chad in his episode of "a football life". Everything he said about Chad came with an extreme degree of salt. All negative, zero positive. He kinda sounded resentful, frankly. Not to mention how he treated Chad behind the scenes, replacing his list with a dumb list about practice.
It's possible he said some nice things that were clipped out (who knows with documentaries), but the picture that was painted made Marv look pretty spiteful, and intolerant of Chad's methods of gaining extra motivation. Marv treated his football team like it was a military unit, where everyone had to strictly conform and not be different in any way.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
