The NFL is a very small club. Who the tree trunk is and who the branches are can get complicated. For example, there's talk on the site about the McVay tree... but McVay comes from Jay Gruden's staff... but Jay Gruden comes from the Marvin Lewis staff... and then you'll go on and on to the beginnings of football.
And even if you make a distinction between offensive and defensive trees, still, McVay wouldn't be the tree trunk, he'd be a branch off Jay Gruden.
Don’t forget about Shannahan’s branch too. McVay is like a branch off of that branch which is off of Jay Gruden’s branch.
