I've been on these boards long enough to know that for many:
If it's bad; it's Marvin's fault
If it's good: it's in spite of Marvin.
Personally, I think Marvin is a fine coach, but some will look at anything.
Example time:
With less than 2 minutes left in the half the Fins are faced with a third down with the clock ticking. Marvin calls a T.O. with hopes of us stopping them and getting the ball back with some time left on the clock. It works exactly as we hoped. Fins passed on 3rd down incomplete. Fins punt and we get the ball back with 1:15 left. We go aggressive throwing on 3 straight downs and have to punt with a few seconds left. Of Course Miami returns for a TD.
So one the next kickoff we take a knee with 20 seconds left. The usual suspect in GD were crying about how Marvin was too conservative and although we had not done bumpkus in the last 29 minutes and 28 seconds. He was playing not to lose.
