Going back to the old board, I know you and some others have placed a great value on what Marvin has accomplished in the regular season, while not placing quite the same type of weight on the playoff debacles.
However, to truly evaluate Marvin, there is simply no way you can't factor in the playoff failures and the importance of them. To demonstrate just how glaring, and incredibly improbable, losing 7 times in 7 opportunities is, just look at how he stacks up, or fails to, in terms of NFL historical comparisons:
Head coaches who had 10 or more years on the job: 67
Only Marvin (0-7), Mora (0-6), Jauron (0-1), and Kuharich/Van Brocklin (0-0) have failed to win a single playoff game.
55 of the 67 have won at least 2 playoff games.
Head coaches who had 13 or more years on the job: 37
34 of the 37 won at least 1 playoff game, while 32 have won 2 or more.
Head coaches that had 7 or more playoff appearances: 53
Marvin is the only member to have not won at least 2 playoff games.
50 members of this group won at least 3 playoff games.
Head coaches that had 7 or more playoff losses: 24
19 have 7 or more playoff wins, and Marvin is the only member without at least 2 playoff wins.
Head coaches that appeared exactly 7 playoff games: 8
7 of this group won 3 or more playoff wins in their 7 tries.
Head coaches that had 10 or more years and 5 or more playoff appearances: 54
Marvin is one of only 5 in this group without 2 or more playoff wins.
Head coaches that appeared in 5 or more playoff games: 81
79 have won at least one playoff game. Only Marvin and Mora failed to do so.
74 have won at least 2 playoffs games. 58 have won at least 3 playoff games.
These numbers aren't spin or opinion...they are the product of a HC who has proven, at least to this point, that he simply isn't capable of succeeding on the biggest stage. It isn't just that he's failed in the playoffs, it's the fact that he has done it in such a record setting fashion.
Yes, that was the sound of a microphone dropping .....
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
