The only coach in the salary cap era that has taken two different teams to a Super Bowl is Andy Reid. Dick Vermeil did it once pre and once post. Bill Parcells, and Don Shula did it pre-salary cap.
there is a degree of truth to that. even for great QBs. they can't do it alone. but given those ingredients of good skill and talent can they take the team over the hump. coaching is important. Garrett had some talent ot work with and he wasted it. not saying it was superbowl ready, but it was good and he never really got over the hump. missed many opportunities, including one year being #1 seed. and then there is Bilicheck who had Brady and marginal talents (good talent but not great) and he won superbowls. there is not a lot of HOFers from the groups he took to superbowl winning many. good, great coaching makes a huge difference. Shanahan is doing it in SF, with a 7th round last pick of the draft kinda pick. he went to superbowl and came within minutes of winning it with Grapolo.....
It's not easy to do. But as we are finding out a coach can be slowed by poor QB play. I would have liked to see what Johnson could have done if he was allowed to draft HIS own QB. Every coach you mentioned got to run with their own QB. Johnson's hands were tied by an aging Marino...
No. He wanted to put a cap on what players could be paid. His success with Johnson and his ego took him right past the understanding that the team structured in the manner he wanted where he is the face of the franchise and gets all the credit - the way he has attempted to do it since Johnson except during the Parcells years - is a recipe for failure.
Mentally and physically weak? I can’t have a conversation with someone who actually believes that.
To be clear, I never said coaching isn’t important. What I actually said was that a top tier coach might be worth a couple of regular season wins over an average coach. Once the playoffs arrive, I think coaching is much more important, but at the end of the day, the players have to execute. Dak suddenly becoming int happy isn’t a coaching issue. He’s had the same OC for years.
You are so underselling what Jones has done for the NFL that it’s ridiculous. The cap was the best thing for monetizing the league as a whole, but it has probably hurt Dallas more than almost any other team. Jones saw the big picture very early, and it’s fan friendly for 80% of the league. Not for us, though.
Coaches don't count toward the salary cap so that's how he gets personnel. For example, Quinn is being paid very well to remain our DC this season.
Let me know when Jerry and company start investing in a real defense. Until then whoever the coach and QB are will never be contenders and they'll be run out of town eventually.
True, Jerry would buy a Super Bowl championship if he could and he's even perplexed as to why he can't.
You are free to prove me wrong…but this team is mentally weak? This team collapsed twice against inferior teams in the 4th quarter…blowing 14 and 17 point leads, looked terrible at Tennessee and looked like a CFL team against Washington…what are they?
oh, I don't disagree. Jones boys will ruin any coach. the culture is toxic to championship. All Jerry cares about is money and thus no coach is going to find success here. as soon as we have some success, Jerry is upfront and center taking credit and he starts poking his head in the locker room, making the rounds on the radio and maximizing his bottom line. Even the great parcells quit on him
Not sure what that had to do with my post, but okay.
What? Marino had one of his best years the first year Jimmy was there.
As I said in another post, Marino had one of his best years the first year Jimmy was there. He missed 2 games the second year or he would’ve put up great numbers.
