Do you realize you just tried to criticize Marvin for both not "demanding accountability on the field" and "pulling players out for rookie mistakes". So he gets ripped for both holding players accountable and NOT holding players accountable.
It is like criticizing him for both "being too conservative" and "giving up on the run too quickly".
You basically criticize everything Marvin does even when it is what you said he should do. He got ripped constantly for being too conservative in the last minutes of the first half, but when he was aggressive in the last minutes of the half against the Ravens earlier this year he got ripped for that also.
Marvin has more wins against other NFL coaches than he does losses. It is impossible for him to be bad at everything and still have a winning record. Especially when he is handicapped by working for the worst owner in the league.
Fred demanding accountability is pulling a seasoned vet out of the game for walking out on the field in a playoff game with his overcoat on not pulling a rookie for being a half yard short on a 3rd down pass or for fumbling from a very unusual perfect hit. And then crushing then with public statements !
Bottom line - Marvin is not a good in game coach, he's outdated and refuses to change or is unable to.
