Marty made the mistake of coaching teams that didn't have a great QB. He coached against Elway, Kelly and Marino with scrubs at QB. Montana was a shell of his former self and was better than anything else he had. His firing from the Chargers was a shame because he made a point to his defensive backs that if it was 4th down that the ball should be knocked down, instead the db intercepted it, was stripped and the Patriots recovered.
So many things happened out of his control, The Drive, The Fumble, The Vaseline, The Elvis, The Kicker who shall remain nameless. Those were some fun years where the Chiefs were unbeatable at home in the regular season and Marty went full on idiot in the playoffs.
