I have been around long enough to hear people say that they KNEW we would never make the playoffs in back to back years under Marvin.
In 2012 there were people here who KNEW that we could not beat the Stealers with a playoff spot on the line.
Just last year there were a lot of people who KNEW that we could not beat the Broncos on Monday night.
Forrest Gregg and Sam Wyche both had losing records as head coaches before taking us to the Super Bowl, so if you had been around back then you would have KNOWN that it was impossible for them to do that.
The one thing that is consistent for pretty much every NFL season. There will be teams, coaches, and players who do things they have never done before.
The facts is that you don't KNOW that Marvin can not take us to the Super Bowl. That is just your opinion.
Forrest Gregg went from 6-10 his first year, to the SB in his 2nd year. Sam Wyche won his first 2 playoff games as a HC.
The only thing i'll give Marv is that, an intelligent grown man should be able to learn from his mistakes. Marv has much to draw from in the 'doing it wrong' category. If a coach can't win a playoff game in his 7th try, in his 13th year, what are the chances he'll ever do it? And who wants to sit around waiting to see if he can at some point?
