Really?? So Cincy had the 1st pink in the draft on the very same yr Burrow comes out , if that's not a gift , or maybe luck? Gifted/ Luck How about Noll ? Hw took over the Steelers in 69 and had the 1st overall pick in 70, Guess who he took? YUP Bradshaw. Gifted/ Luck ??
Let's take out Brady, Belichick inherited a SB winning 4x pro-bowl QB in Drew Bledsoe
Meredith is in the college football hall of fame 1982 , he was a 3x pro-bowl and all-pro QB . Hardly like Landry inherited Winston and Dalton.
The thing you and a lot have missed in all of this is I'm not defending DA, I'm not a DA fan. I;ll bet if you ask ML if DA is going to be in the HOF as a coach he'd say probably not .
You're all missing ML's point. If any of those coaches would have been fired after their 2nd yr on the job would they have had a chance to be as good as they were?
Even Ross Jackson made mention to the fact that's what ML meant with the reference to those coaches
