Marvin also had more non-winning seasons than winning. Outside of the 5 year playoff run, he only had 2 winning seasons in 11 years. He didn't even have a winning record versus his own conference, finishing 11 games below .500.
Marvin was able to accomplish some good things during his time here, but his overall body of work as a head coach was extremely mediocre. When you put his tenure into historical context - amount of time with one team, playoff appearances, etc - he should have accomplished much more the time and opportunities he had. But he didn't. He failed at an epic rate.
When you take everything into account - regular season, playoffs, primetime, historical comparisons - I don't see how you avoid the mediocre tag with Marvin. He was pretty damn good for that 5 year run, but didn't do much outside of that at all.
