Just remember that Marvin was the only coach to ever have a winning record under Mike Brown. He deserves more credit than many give him. That said, it was time for him to go.
Is the new coach better than Marv? I don't know, but he's going to need to get wins to show that he is.
I mean this is the same thread where people are saying "well I think they might have won 9 or 10 games last year if so-and-so doesn't happen", so I don't think it's unfair to point it out. "The 6-10 finish was a 6-10 finish and wasn't 9-7."
Are we really going to call our brand new and incredibly young head coach a disappointment if he doesn't turn a 6 win team with a god awful defense into a 9 win team overnight? I'm just not sure I can buy that, sorry.
