Belicheck has managed to win with every backup QB he's had even Matt Cassel. Coach Pop has continued to make the playoffs and win games with players long past their primes and cast offs from other teams. Pederson managed to coach up Foles and beat Beli and Brady to win a Superbowl. The Golden State Warriors were merely contenders under Jackson and not champions before Kerr came along. Goff and Gurley were beginning to be labelled busts before McVay.
Coaching matters. Great coaching will make players better. Garrett has only made the playoffs 2 times, despite having teams talented enough to make the post season. His teams have largely underachieved, even when he was an OC.
A rookie QB beating another rookie QB is not the greatest example of coaching not being a factor especially when the team that won was a 3 point favorite to win to begin with.
Pats did not make the playoffs the year Brady was out.
Pop in San Antonio ain’t jack now. They have zero chance at doing anything now. If the last twenty years the spurs are what they are now, pop would have been fired fifteen years ago. Pop had two of the greatest big men to ever play the game during his run....... that run is now over, and the spurs are nothing, even though they have the amazing pop still running things.
Kerr, like Phil Jackson took over teams that were just coming into their prime. You think the warriors should have won titles i the first two years of Thompson and stephs career?puhlease
Busts in Los Angeles... what had Goff played, 1 year? And yet the bust label was on him? Lol....
Name me 15 qbs that you feel are great, and wow, they will all have a “great coach.”
I can name you multiple coaches that were “great,” until their superstar qb was gone.
George seifert had the best win percentage in history, then must have hit his head upon arriving in Carolina and forgot how to coach.
Switzer was phenomenal, after all, he won the sb in his very first year in the nfl.
