Marvin sacrificed character for that "dog" and while it gave us the edge we needed to have some bite against some of the other "dogs" in the AFCN, we paid a heavy price for it with penalties, arrests, and emotional meltdowns.
Zac has somehow gotten players with edge and fight, without the character flaws. This team is full of choir boys, but yesterday showed me they have bark AND bite to go along with high character.
This team seems finesse, but somehow they aren't. They are tough and physical, without all the character sacrifices that haunted us in the past. Zac and the Front Office has done a great job walking that thin line this new era.
ZT only sees a deer in the headlights that's in front of him while Marvin was the deer in the headlights too many times.Big big difference.
Marvin was a fine coach in his own right and re-built the fabric of this team but there were plenty of times those looks were shown with no answer
in very critical games, mainly the playoffs.
