Pistons, my post opined as to the difficulties any Bengal coach would have faced in the 90s.

I believe that Lewis was a better coach than Shula, and feel that he was better equipped to lead players in 2000s than Shula. I think Lewis brought some degree of credibility that spoke to those players - unlike Shula just possessing bloodlines.

But to your question of whether Shula would have succeeded in '04 as did Lewis, I think it would be unfair to assume that he wouldn't.
