Coaching matters a LOT. Great coaches have/make great schemes. It's why Mike Zimmer is always able to pick random joes off the street and create Top 10 defenses every single year. Terrence Newman, Roy Williams, Chris Crocker, Tank Johnson, Robert Geathers, etc, weren't making Mike Zimmer great. Lol


Belichick won a playoff game with the Browns while starting a combination of Vinny Testiverde and Mark Rypien at QB. That's gotta be worth an honorary SB.

He made (but lost) a SB with the Patriots in '96 when he was Assistant HC.

Also his first SB win in 2001, Drew Bledsoe started 2 games that season AND threw 21 passes in the playoffs that year.

He also had Matt Cassel lead the Patriots to an 11-5 record. (They somehow missed the playoffs.)

Not to mention the Saints fell off the cliff while Sean Peyton was suspended after Bountygate. Coaching matters in the NFL... Now if we're discussing the NBA, then I would agree that great players make great coaches.
