We've seen it all, too many times.  Championship coaches have no problem with burying an opponent, embarrassing them, making them fearful to face their team in the future.  Not Marvin, he wants to win with class, offer the foe dignity in defeat..

I had the 30 for 30 "Catholics vs. Convicts" on my DVR, so I watched it last night, and on it, Jimmy Johnson brought up a pretty valid point.  Being a Noles fan, I obviously have no love for ANYTHING 'canes, but he was talking about why he never took the foot off the pedal when he got a big lead.  It seems he had lost a couple of big leads early on while he was at Miami, and he was always fearful of letting his opponent back in the game as a result.  I just always assumed him to be a prick, but that was some interesting insight into his philosophy, albeit 30 years later.
