Quote:If Dave had a leadership style that worked and was followed down the line, there would have been no need for Coughlin to impose his style.

 

Tight or loose, either can work.

 

But not without a roadmap or recipe book.  We seemed to have good ingredients, but not necessarily ones that were good together or put together the proper way.

Any approach works. If its just one way, then everyone would be trying to do it the same way. You gotta have the right leadership in place to make sure whatever vision is followed through.

 

This is why you've had several Belichick disciples go all over the NFL and CFL, none of which has been able to duplicate what they have in New England.

 

Same thing in the NBA.

 

Everybody wants to emulate the Spurs way, but none of them have Pop.
