Meh. We still would've wound up with AJ Green or Julio Jones no matter who the HC was. The defensive pieces (Atkins, Dunlap, Leon, Nelson, Pacman, etc) were mostly there. So was Zimmer, who easily could've held his job through a coaching change.
The biggest question is would we still hire Jay Gruden? He was the one who wanted Andy Dalton. Mike Brown supposedly wanted Mallet or Kaepernick.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
