It makes me wonder if people have forgotten how important the HC position is, or if they're numb to Marvin, or if they just think all the changes will be enough to overcome Marv and his propensity to fail when the lights are brightest.
I just watched a video of Marvin talking to the team last year, and his pep talk to the players was downright gentle and he ended it by telling them to "go have fun". How can we expect fiery leadership from our players when our Head Coach lacks that fire himself? The positive side to this is that players love a player's coach and it'd be good for cohesion, but I don't want soft leaders when the games get tough (playoffs).
Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of things about this off-season, but Marv still being here is a giant wet blanket on my enthusiasm.
I think McC kind of put it best, that Marv Marv proofed this team lol
Last year you are right, Marv was about as inspiring as a wet blanket. He looks much better this year, he seemed
like almost uninterested and like you said soft last season. It was ugly all the way around and it shown when AJ
went after Ramsey, complete frustration. looks different this Offseason we will see.
Just hoping the changes take away Marv's weaknesses. A great run game can do it i think.
