What does that tell you about those two coaches?
What it tells me is Marvin could coach to the talent level on his team. He could integrate pieces and parts into his offensive and defensive system and didn't have to have just 1 system defensively and 1 system offensively.
Marvin is twice the coach that Taylor is in my opinion and I'm not even a huge fan of Marvin.
The thing I don't get is why so many people here give the excuse or leeway to Taylor because he didn't have the talent to fit his schemes. When Marvin was hired in 2003, Did he hire a DC and OC that were complete opposite fits of the talent he had on the team? No he kept the same OC, Brat, if I remember correctly. He was smart to keep that continuity because it's what helped him succeed.
