I think the whole argument of "Marvin has no control over his players" is a bit tired and overplayed. What is Marvin supposed to do.. threaten these guys that if they don't behave in class they will have to sit in time out? Marvin knows the fire these guys brings to the field. He also knows that their talents and the good they bring to the team greatly outweighs the negatives. Burfict had only 3 personal foul calls all season. What did Pacman have, 2? It's not like these guys are costing them games on a weekly basis. Burfict essentially closed the last game with his interception. He even helped the comeback by his big hit on Ben, knocking him out of the game. I can guarantee any other coach would love to have Burfict. He would start every game any where else, and he would continue to have questionable hits and personal fouls, because that's just who he is. He's a great player because of the intensity he brings. You can't hold that back, unless you sit him, but then you are hurting the team more than if he was playing.
