No doubt coaching plays a role, but a hungry player who loves football, all of it from the film room to practice is needed for any coach to get them to their peak.

BB is great at assembling players who love the grind, love the game. Once they have the big bucks, some players play to have a long career by playing it safe, guys who love the game don't do it for the money, but for the love of the game so they stay motivated after a big contract. As the old saying goes you (coach) can lead a horse (player) to water, but you can't make them drink (want it).
