Quote:Yep. There's a reason coordinators arn't good after leaving. They don't have Bills influence which is a huge multiplier.

 

They don't have tom Brady?

 

McDaniels: Cutler/Tebow

Weis: Matt Cassell 

Crennell: Anderson/Quinn 

O'brien: $72M Beanpole 

Mangini: Favre

 

Crennell was the last Browns HC to have a winning record (2007) and remains a respected defensive mind. The biggest failures of the tree comes from failures at the QB position. You can make an argument for the immaturity of McDaniels or Weis and Mangini just being plain overrated, but they are a successful bunch otherwise.

 

Don't forget Saban, Ferentz, Dantonio all were Belichick tree guys 

 

O'brien resurrected Penn State and the Texans are a QB away from truly dominating

 

There is some good, maybes and awful but it's not the worst tree to look to. I understand the argument for McDaniels being a no-way, but he's worth an interview
