Both made playoffs in second year where it took Marvin until year three. Zimmer may have made it 2 out of 3 years if not for season ending injury to starting QB who led them to 11-5 record in first year starting .
Zimmer's record 26-22 with back up QB in one year
Marvin's record 27-21
Gruden's record 21-26
All had a 333 playoff appearance at same juncture of HC careers
My boy Gruden may be on hot seat as Shake pointed out but do not see any way that Zimmer's seat is warm.
Think both will be good NFL coaches and do Marvin proud as well as Joseph. He just does not have a track record yet.
Maybe, maybe not. The Vikings started hot with Bradford and fell apart. I do know this...neither would be on a "hot seat" if Mike Brown were their boss.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
