The Redskins had the #5 defense in the league the year Marvin was there

They had so much talent on Defense that it didn't matter who the DC was there for basically a decade after Lewis left.
Everyone that followed Marvin benefittied from the defense that MARVIN built. That defense was ranked 24th the year before he arrived and 30th in his first year. Marvin was the one that built it into one of the greatest in history.

Zimmer took over a team that was one year removed from making the playoffs and had a losing season.
Gruden took over a team that was one year removed from making the playoffs and only won 4 games.
Marvin took over a team that had not had a winning record in 13 years and had a .500 season.
