As long as you've got great players I think any coach can do the job effectively.

But if you have a shitty team all the coaching in the world doesn't matter, with a few exceptions.
Actually Jim Brown said something tonight during the dolphins/browns game that was very interesting.
When asked who he thought the best coaches out there were, he said Bill Bellicheck and Bill Cowher...and then he said that "you would think those teams had the best personnel in the league but they don't.....far from it"

Those coaches win without alot of the "marquee players" that people value so highly....because they get the most out of the players they have and they know how to pick players that fit their system well.

There are alot of teams with alot of big name players that don't win very many games.....and the players do get the lion's share of the money.
