Bullshit. His Chargers teams were loaded with talent, and he still failed in the same exact ways as he did in Kansas City and Cleveland. You can have all the talent in the world, but it doesn't matter if you can't coach them properly - this is just as true in the playoffs as it is in the regular season.
Marty was a great regular season coach and a playoff choker, end of story. Unfortunately for him, once a team becomes good, they start being judged by what they do in the postseason, not the regular season.
