Halftime Defensive Adjustments

Here is that point.  Marvin never said he didn't make halftime adjustments.  He never said they were "fake".  He simply said that they are not as big of a thing as journalist make them out to be.  And it appears multiple Super Bowl winning head coaches agree with him.

But some people just like to make stuff up to shit on Marvin.

He flat out called them "journalistic jargon". That insinuates he didn't believe in them at all, and judging by what we saw a lot of times, he didn't. His oline coach also said you "didn't have time to coach up players during the season", while Pollack apparently still teaches and drills fundamentals all the way through. 

All of that said, it did seem that Marvin and several members of that staff were VERY rigid in gameplan and methodology....as well as practice structure. They didn't seem to adapt very well, and when they got behind in big stage games, they stayed there usually. That's kind of a hallmark of not adjusting to what your opponent is doing to you. 

Anyway, the past is the past, it's just comical how you always defended Marvin, no matter the case, but can't give ol boy wonder any credit for helping right the ship that Marvin and staff caused to eventually list. Reply all you want, I'm finished with the topic. Your opinion is no better than mine, and *current* NFL players that were actually in that locker room (Chase said the same thing about the offensive side) Sunday kinda led me to my opinion. Not retired or fired coaches. 

As for Sean Payton, maybe he should look into them, cause he ain't doing so hot without Brees.
