And for what it's worth, Marvin had this team on the cusp of a playoff victory several times during his tenure. So while the lack of free agency spending and a tiny scouting department are not attractive prospects, we have quantifiable proof that a head coach can succeed despite those things.
Marvin was turning in a lot of winning seasons, and playoffs appearances. It's not like they were floundering, and Marvin was coasting by.
The two coaches before him had like 4-year and 2-year runs, so I think this job security thing is exaggerated.
