So... What exactly is the argument here? I'm seeing a lot of talking in circles here...
Bottom line is, does anybody really think Marvin isn't a huge part of the problem here? Nobody can be that blind.
Honestly, they both deserve to be fired. But obviously, one can't be fired. We're stuck with Mike in some capacity for the rest of his life. Marvin has proven countless times on gameday that he's a mediocre-at-best coach. Mike is certainly not holding him back when it comes to performances on the field. Marv has had plenty of teams loaded with talent and still has failing grades all over the place when it counts (playoff, Primetime and Steeler games). That's 14 years worth of head coaching, with lots of roster turnover, plenty of different coordinators, but the same shit in the same scenarios countless times.
If I had my choice and I could only part ways with one of them, I'd honestly get rid of Marv before Mike. Mike has undoubtedly taken a step back. How much of a step back he's taken is debatable, but he's stepped away enough for us to have acquired plenty of talent on the field (something that was sorely lacking in the 90's). We have acquired plenty of pieces to the puzzle under Mike, but coaching is obviously unable to put the pieces together. I'd LOVE to see what just about anyone else could do with this roster (and an improved oline, of course).
