There's been a bunch of cross talk as there almost always is this time of year about ML's job. And the other coaches for that matter.
How much of a difference does it make at the NFL level ? Here's some interesting insights from Harvard study. It's a couple years old but still very applicable.
"Overall, great managers create value and organizational performance by deploying and leveraging the resources at their disposal more effectively than their less capable counterparts.
Furthermore, though managerial ability does indeed significantly affect resource productivity and organizational performance, this effect is more pronounced in the case of less resource rich portfolios. "
Matters a hell of a lot that is for damn sure. Every team has talented players in the NFL, the difference ends up
being the coaches and why guys like Belichick win even when their best players go down. For instance a good
coach could coach up these LB's into atleast being able to fill a hole and to cover atleast serviceable.
Marv might be a good DC but he is just not a good HC like Belichick is and it really shows.
