You took something very specific then broadened it to try to use as a straw man for whatever point you were trying to make. We don't hire any top outside candidates, whether it be for coaching or FA.
True, I can't even remember where Bratkowski/Frazier were hired from. You got me. I became an avid fan right after that time. But I would be absolutely shocked if they were considered premiere hires at the time. Some things will never change!
Zimmer had coached the #1 defense in the entire league while DC with the Cowboys and finished in the top ten 3 of his six seasons in Dallas.
Bratkowski had coached the #3 offense (yards) in the league while OC with the Seahawks, and also finished in the top 10 in scoring offense 3 of his 4 seasons in Seattle.
