I am not sure I buy into that thought. If he was 1-6 in the postseason, I might give more credence to it, but 0-7 in the postseason combined with his prime time game record? There was a failing in Marvin/his coaching that hit a real hard threshold of how successful he was able to be. 7 tries and you should almost be able to stumble into 1 at least.
53 coaches have been to at least 7 playoff games and ONLY Marvin out of those 53 has less than 2 wins.... heck, 51 of those 53 have at least 3 wins.
97 coaches have been to at least 4 playoff games and only Marvin and Jim Mora don't have at least 1 win.
0-3 in the postseason might be bad luck... but 0-7? There were 5 different QB, so 1 or 2 QBs can't be the scapegoat. There's simply something more failing there at that point.
2015 might have been the closest they came to winning a postseason game under Marvin, but 2013 still stands out most to me as a game where they simply were the overwhelmingly better team from a pure talent standpoint and still got beat. I'm not saying Mike Brown has done a good job running this team, but there were a couple years where they had all the talent they could have possibly needed and they still flopped under Marvin.
