That streak was Marv's model for building a competitive team in spite of the FO. Although he states coaching is what he loves, I think he's a better GM. For all his shortcomings as a HC, he seems to be a fine coordinator, and he could get a strategic plan for the team he had to work with, corny catchphrases notwithstanding.

I get it, though. Friends and family rave about my cooking, for  instance, but I don't love to do it.
