There seems to be this assumption that everyone here thinks Marvin is bad, but I don't think that's what we're really saying. I personally think Marvin's a pretty good coach, but he was here for 16 years. His message was stale, his approach was stale, and the team desperately needed a change. That's no real knock on Marvin because I think that would happen with 90% of the coaches out there. Just because he had to go doesn't mean he is or was a bad coach.
As far as the 4-1 start, I don't know how much of that I look back at and necessarily credit to Marvin. They came out pretty flat against both Indy and Miami for example, so the team wasn't exactly screaming "wow what a well coached squad" to me to begin with.
