I don’t think anyone called him in a loser in this thread. He probably could have gotten a job somewhere but it’s not like he’s a super in demand candidate. I think every team that has fired him improves after he leaves.

No, but they had a good thing going in his first year - then they got rid of Bledsoe. I don't blame him for quitting either. I love Marv, but he messed up his opening press conference as GM so badly. "Maybe I'll coach too" he says - while Mularkey is still the coach! That, and Ralph was paying him less than any other HC in the league. There were coordinators making more. I bet some of the people criticizing him for leaving have also uttered the words, "Ralph is cheap". You can't have it both ways. I’m never a fan of piling on Ralph, especially posthumously, but this is as truthy a post as you can get. 1 1

If they beat the Steelers in 2004, everything might’ve turned out different.

Unfortunately, he was replaced by a combination of JP Losman and Kelly Holcomb.

TheFunPolice Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Good guy, amazing that he was a head coach for 3 different NFL teams, 2 after he quit on the Bills. It's odd that he went 9-7 two years in a row with the Titans and still got fired anyway after making it to the divisional round of the playoffs his last season. Going 9-7 is what the Titans do.

Just sayin' but it's not like other sports where you can go to Europe or other continents and get paid well in a bogus league
