He was talking about the postseason.

Which regular season coach is better? One that goes 1-0 or the one that's 7-0?

That leaves Marv in a pool of 14 HC who have coached at least 2 full seasons in their career, but haven't won a SB. Mediocre Marv will forever be Mediocre Marv.

A few years ago - in response to a similar claim by Fred - I made up a grading system for season success and compared Marvin's Bengals tenure to the rest of the NFL from 2003 to 2013 (?). The grading system went like this:

+8 for 12+ wins 
+5 for 10-11 wins
+3 for 9 wins
0 for 8-8
-3 for 7 wins
-5 for 5-6 wins
-8 for 4 wins or less

+10 pts for division title
+10 for each playoff win
+50 for a Super Bowl title

Marvin's "success" ranked 20th compared to the rest of the league during that time frame. I still plan on updating that list at some point. It was a crap ton of work though, and all Marv apologists did was criticize the grading system anyway.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
