In baseball, managers are practically interchangeable. As long as you can fill out a lineup card and know the rules, you're good.
In basketball, there's only 5 players on the court per team, and 1 super talent can make a team win. Strategy matters some, but talent is king.
In Football, which is almost like chess with a pigskin, strategy and scheme matter a LOT. I'd say it's around 50/50 with talent. You need a good coach.
Also, you know there are great players that hit the market, pretty often actually.
What did N'Damukong Suh do for the Dolphins? Back when the Bucs were winning free agency, they signed Vincent Jackson (coming off a pro bowl) and a still-in-his-prime Darrelle Revis. They won 4 games. In 2015, the Eagles added the NFL's leading rusher (Demarco Murray), another 1000 yard rusher in Ryan Matthews, on top of Byron Maxwell and Sam Bradford. This on top of previous signings like Sproles, Malcolm Jenkins and Connor Barwin. They had a lot of talent. Went 7-9.
Sean McVay deserves a ton of credit for that turnaround.
What dis cat said! I second it.
I was disappointed when Marvin was kept for dat exact reazon. It stole the possibility of getting some great offensive dude that could make Dalton and the offense great.
McVay turned around Goff who looked terrible in Yr 1.
