Gruden is 17-21.  He did make the playoffs last year, but he had a ridiculous easy schedule that had only THREE games against teams with winning records.  He lost all 3.  

Marvin was only 8-8 in his second season but he had a brutal schedule with 9 games against teams with winning records.  He won 2 of those 9 games.

And for Marvin to get above .500 he had to have the talent levels of Palmer, Chad, Housh, an amazing OL, Rudi Johnson, Justin Smith, ect ect.... Gruden had to have 3 different QBs his first year coaching. He had a bad OL and a alright running game. His defense was probably worse than ours at that point too.

Pretty much Gruden won his division with very little, and Marvin had to have some of the best players in the league to do it.
