Marty should have won last year, players on the field made poor choices, which leads to "the coach didn't prepare them enough". say what you will but you can be coached and coached, but when your in the moment things happen.

woulda coulda shoulda
marty's MO is to create players who do great in the regular season, but then adapt to their HC who as a fact, panics in the playoffs
Marty just panics when the chips are down, it's a fact.
as for taking a 14-2 team and making them 11-5, it's been obvious they had to get used to norv and cottrell, that and their schedule was tougher
last time marty had a 1st place schedule he went 9-7 , the 14-2 season came because of a 3rd place schedule
you can look at marty's last decade plus of work and see how each year after a great year, his teams are a letdown as far as wins/losses.
Norv taking them to 11-5 is something i would have expected from a marty team or less because as i've said marty coached teams never follow up success the next year.
the playoff win was something marty just could not accomplish with sd...fact.
