Marty went to 3 conference championships, 14% of the time he made it that far.
Reid is considered an innovator and an offensive genius.
Marty was just a good coach who got a lot out of his defense.
I say all this believing Marty was a great coach.
Marty cant sniff Reid's jock.

This point can't be emphasized enough.
Marty adopted a blueprint and executed it well. He essentially borrowed the Parcells model, installed DT as his own Lawrence Taylor, and rode that to sustained success.
Now you can try to argue that Reid did that somewhat by borrowing key concepts from the WCO but if you looked at the Walsh WCO and the Reid WCO they barely look like the same sport. You look at what Parcells and co. were doing with his defense and what Marty was doing with his, it was virtually identical.
Like I said - if this is arguable, try to argue it. Argue that Marty had more success in the regular season or post-season. Argue that Marty did more with less. Argue that Marty was a greater innovator or had a larger impact on the league.
Don't try to argue that he was good because nobody's disagreeing with that point. Give me anything you have in your quiver that says he was BETTER.
