Stayed around? Marty didnt limp along with the same franchise chocking up wins. Dude went to bad team after bad team and turned them into winners. Last place to #1 seeds. Then he leaves and those teams went back to being losers. Great coach.

Coughlin took an expansion team to the Conference Championship game in his second season. He left an expansion team with a winning record. He brought discipline to an undisciplined Giants team with a rookie QB, and made them 2 time (and counting) Super Bowl Champs. Add to that, he personally made Tiki Barber a back who now has consideration for the Hall. If you want to state the merits of Marty being in the Hall, that’s fine. But there’s no need to diminish Coughlin’s achievements in order to build up the minimal achievements of Marty.

Marty stayed around long enough to accumulate some numbers

Since I worked the holiday I only have a 4 day week this week. Gotta take the small victories when you get them, ya know? A drive through the desert and Utah huh? Haven’t been out that way since I was a kid, so don’t remember too clearly but it sounds like that’d be a relaxing, borderline mind-numbingly boring, drive. Enlighten me.

Marty Schottenheimer Will Never Be in the Hall of Fame

Wrong, just wrong. He will eventually.

Marty was way better than both Coughlin and Cowher, both of whom likely make it in.

Way better at what? Marty stayed around long enough to accumulate some numbers, so what? His defenses were predictable and he couldn’t develop an offensive philosophy to save his life. Great regular season coach. If Mike Smith stays around long enough, he’ll get those wins too.

He also de facto fired Marty. 3 of the top 10 coaches in wins.

Is that a line from that movie? If so, and there’s more like it, I may have to see that.
