Quote:Didn't TC have essentially 100% control while he was here?

 

I was fairly young back then so I didn't quite follow much off the field.

 

 

Quote:He did but the examples are few and far between.  I can't see any coaching candidate out there right now with the kind of resume that would be granted 'full control'.

 

 

The two biggest examples I can think of as far as a "Total Control" Head Coach were Coughlin when he got here and Holmgren when he moved to Seattle. Both had good success early, but could not sustain it over the long-term. To me, the two jobs of a General Manager and a Head Coach are simply way too much for one person to do alone. You can have input back and forth, but you need more than one guy to oversee things.
