I agree completely. It's easy now that the skins have Gibbs back to say that getting rid of Marty was a good decision. Reality is it was a terrible desicion...Marty had the skins playing with heart and gelling towards the end of his lone season. Danny may have turned chicken shit back into chicken salad by bringing back Gibbs a couple years later but pushing Marty out on it's own was a terrible decision. Marty may have a bad playoff record but he is a very good coach and a well respected figure in the league which is exactly what Snyder needed at that point. I don't think there is any reason for us to rip on Marty...he has never said a bad word about the redskins even after Snyder broke all the promises he made to him 12 months later.
