There's no doubt that Taylor has made some mistakes of his own and he is responsible for those, and responsible for fixing them going forward. There have also been times where he hasn't adjusted well in-game and where the play calling has been very questionable, to say the least. 

Maybe Taylor will prove to be Shula level bad, but I don't think you can make that determination so early and with all the problems with the roster. It's not like the situation with Marvin where you have years of previous examples to evaluate and compare. 

Not to mention Marvin's first season, they started off 1-5 before winning 7 of their next 9 to be 8-6 before losing the last 2. So it's not like Marvin turned things around instantaneously. The biggest thing Marvin did was to not have a losing season in his first 4 years. But he also only had a winning season 1 time in his first 4 years, too.
