That Bill Parcells was able to take a team that was 5-11 the year before into the playoffs says something about the importance of coaching. And Parcells' impact on the Boys was not some anomaly.
The Patriots are also able to do what they do largely because of coaching. The Bengals turned their fanchise around from the joke of the league into playoff contenders largely because of coaching. Andy Reid took a dying franchise and turned them into consistent playoff contenders despite being a team that year in and year out has some of the most cap space in the league. The list goes on and on.
Do we have the talent of a 13-3 team? No. Do we have the talent of a 5-11 (like last year)? NO WAY.
We are a team that always wins the offseason but loses in the regular season. Why? Who knows, but if you think its because guys like Taylor, Springs, Smoot, Arrington, Washington, Griffin, Coles, Thomas, Portis, Samuels, etc. don't cut it, you're kidding yourself.
