I would think they usually do, except if you recall Parcells bans all his assistant coaches from talking to the media during the season. That's what was weird about it.
Let me throw this out there, which I haven't seen written by any NY scribe yet. It would be a good story in a year or two: Just like Parcells has won s**t since he parted with Belichick and his original set of assistant coaches, maybe Belichick is partly a function of the coaching abilities of Weis, Crennel and Mangini. Look, I respect the Pats. You'd be stupid not to. But maybe Belichick should be heralded for his ability to set a good staff (just like Parcells did at the outset of his career) and not because he's a coaching genius (which every subsequent year Parcells is proving).
Great points..and just maybe..maybe..there would be no superbowls without Tom Brady. So much has to happen perfectly for a coach to repeat and to be labled "genius". See Jimmy Johnson, Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcells and many others who cameback and tried to be great again. Only Parcells went to other teams and succeeded..but never the big won. Dont get me wrong...you need the coach to get you there. So much has to go right when you do.
So between you and Mickey we have the solution to winning the big one. All you need a great coaching staff, great players, and some luck. Thanks I have been trying to figure it out all day!:beer:
Now come on kb..its deeper than that..didnt you see the two of doing a pyscho analysis on the two coaches? lol. Our point is that a lot of credit goes to these so called geniuses. The one thing they have in common is that before you have great players etc, is that they surround themselves with a great staff..and when that staff gets taken away...usually the rings go bye bye too. My point about Brady was that without him...I would say BB would still be searching for his first ring.
You could also be talking about the staff on the 49ers of the 80's. Once that staff started getting picked off they went down hill. But it was Bill Walsh who got all the credit in SF when they were winning.
Another great example. And as the staff gets thinned out...so does the rings. Perfect example is the Jets under Parcells...you still had Bill, Charlie and BB...and we missed getting to the big one by one fumble and one quarter. That was a great great staff.
No matter how much someone is disliked, the need for airing out their personal life is overboard. Is it just me, or does it seem the media is reaching oh so deep to find excuses? How about "The Jets Kicked their ass"? and just let it be.
