Coughlin Culture

Quote:It's hard to emulate anything if you don't understand the "why" behind what they do.

 

Simply copying something isn't understanding the "why" behind the "how" it works.
 

There are Patriots/Spurs people all over the NFL/NBA that were hired by other teams to emulate those franchise's culture. It's a bit silly to think that those people don't understand the whys after spending many years learning from BB/Pop. It's not that they don't understand the "whys", its that those culture take a special blend (and some timing and luck) to do what they did.

 

Would Pop have been afforded the time to implement his vision had he not lucked into Tim Duncan, a superstar that is as selfless as they come, to build his team around? It's not just Duncan either, guys like Ginobili (a top Euro star at the time) was added and he too bought into the system. Ownership too didn't meddle with Pop's success. As great as Pop is, what if he had been with the Knicks with the disarray in their ownership in Dolan? 

 

Same with BB. Sure he's great, but his finding of Brady increased his chances of succeeding greatly (not to mention a "bad" call going his way for the first SB). If not for the tuck rule, maybe his legacy doesn't happen. Same as Pop, if BB was in Dallas with Jerry meddling all the time on FO decisions, would he be able to duplicate his success? 

 

Point is, you can take philosophies and learn it, and apply it when you take over for another team. But unless the execution of that vision go es perfectly with the right circumstances, most of the time it goes badly.
