Quote:The effect of head coaches in the NFL is overrated greatly. General managers and scouting staffs are much more important. Even a "genius" like Bill Belichek would not win with Gene Smith as his G.M. Bradley has made some poor game-time decisions, but he has enough positive traits which will enable him to lead this team to the playoffs - if not this year then certainly in 2017-18. My main concern about him was whether he would fire assistants who were not performing and he proceeded to replace his close friend with Todd Wash. I also expect him to learn from his mistakes. His players will never quit on him and now he has a roster which will enable him to quiet the critics calling for him to be fired. No, he is not Lombardi, Parcells or Belicheck, but he does not need to be.
