And Marty's players weren't the ones throwing a tantrum on the field over a percieved no-call, challenging an obvious fumble, or electing to settle for the dumbest field goal tries possible.
And honestly, has anyone considered that maybe the reason why Marty's teams were so sloppy in the playoffs was because their coach couldn't control himself and constantly lost his shit over nothing? Say what you will, but it must be disconcerting for players to look over at the sidelines in a crucial playoff game and see their coach carrying on like a two-year-old. Playoff Marty was a distraction, and distraction breeds mistakes.
