Marvin has 3 homes. He's doing just fine.

Mcvay has a highly touted GM who is active in getting talent in free agency and the draft. How is his situation compareable to Marvins situation at all?
By the way both Dungey and Mora are legends in the cities that they coached.
Guess we'll find out. That story didn't stop being written in the 90's. We'll see in the next few years.
And "legends" might be a bit strong for Dungy (in Tampa) and Mora. The Bucs fans I know thought more highly of Gruden than Dungy, because Gruden got them their only title, whereas Dungy was essentially Marvin with a couple playoff wins. He didn't really build that team, either. Sam Wyche did.

It's all excuses. If Mike was really that hard to deal with, stop taking the extensions. Prove yourself elsewhere.
Since he stayed for 16 years, I'll judge him against his peers.
