You willfully miss the Point here, Fred.
When I showed my disappointment in the "Front Office" you take that as solely meaning Mike Brown.
When I say "Front Office" I include Marvin as being a Big Part of that "Front Office".
We saw how Mike Brown was as a GM in the 1990's.
Mike somehow became a better GM (via results) after Marvin came.
This is likely because Marvin has great INFLUENCE over the Roster decisions that are being made.
Not a total influence but a great enough influence to have Mike looking like a decent GM during those 7 Playoff appearances.
One can conclude that Marvin has more Roster shaping Power and influence than you pretend.
This team is in large part Marvin's baby since Marvin era teams look nothing like Mike's 1990's teams, especially during those 7 Playoff appearances. He has to be influencing GM Mike.
You may want to start blaming Marvin as much or more than Mike, if it is true that Marvin holds more Roster influence than you let on.
You would lose your "it's all Mike's fault" card.
By saying that Mike "holds back" Marvin by giving Marvin a roster that Marvin has no influence over, you then are assuming that Marvin entered every game that he lost with a LESSER game day Roster than the Head Coach that was opposing him did. Not likely.
I'm sure Marvin entered games with BETTER game day Rosters than his opposing Head Coach had yet LOST.
So HOW are these types of losses Mike's fault ?
Does Mike wear a Head Set during games and mess up Marvin's brilliant Coaching during these games where Marvin has the better game day Roster than the other Head Coach opposing him ?
Could it possibly be Marvin's Coaching which is subpar in these cases, Fred ?
You can't honestly look at the needs this team has and claim that it is MARVIN'S decision to not sign good free agents to fill them.
That is absurd. You are just playing "make believe" in order to try and make Marvin look worse.
Just curious, but why exactly do you think Marvin wants to lose and look bad instead of spend Mike Browns money for better free agents to win more games?
