Quote:I acknowledged they were good coaches. They also were coaches that wouldn't just take losing passively. They each had their moments in pressers where they erupted. Marshmallows like Wade Phillips and Gus Bradley just trot out the same ol "well we gonna try harder next week...."....

 

Correlation between the Wade Phillips/ Bradley/ Del Rio type of head coach and a cap on the ceiling success. 

 

Anomaly's like Carroll & Dungy prove nothing but that they are the anomaly.

 

They were also coaches that had lots of talent around them.

 

Intolerance of losing and throwing tantrums did not preclude Jimmy Johnson from going 1-15, or losing his last game 62-7 when he didn't have the talent of the Cowboys teams he built.

 

Intolerance of losing and melting down in press conferences did not stop Ditka from struggling with the Saints when he didn't have the talent of the 85 Bears.

 

Denny Green's "They are who we thought they were" rant did not propel the Cards into the playoffs on a regular basis at all when he didn't have the Vikings' talent.
