The case against Cowher

[skinsfan69]

Bottom line is coaching is over rated. The media makes such a big deal about coaching. Yes you need a good coach that the players respect but it ALWAYS comes down to players. The team with the best players wins the Super Bowl. Why did Norv Turner get a job in the first place? Because he coached Troy, Michael and Emmitt. It's not like he has some special play book or something. Why is Josh McDaniels being considered for jobs at 32 years old? Cause he calls plays for Tom Brady and Randy Moss. If Cowher comes here, is he so good that he is going to get us over the hump just cause he yells and screams and dials up the zone blitzes? No. Give the job to GW cause he has the players respect and they will play hard for him.

Thanks.

Can't really credit or blame the coach for overall record. Only his players can take responsibility for that.

How do you explain the Chargers last year? They had the best team and lost due to Marty's conservative nature (2 years in a row) that's why they canned his ass.

SD lost becuase NE was a little bit better that day. And they got some breaks like when Troy Brown stripped the SD DB after an INT. But was the play calling a little conservative? Maybe. But who are you going to trust more in a playoff game. LT or Rivers? At that time last year I'm putting the ball in LT's hand. Rivers was a first year starter last year. Plus Cam Cameron was the playcaller. Marty doesn't even wear a head set most of the time.

Marty may not be the most liked guy around but he commands respect when he walks in the room, and he's a damn good football coach. If you walked into the SD locker room right now and asked the players who they like better, I would bet almost all of them would want Marty back. But that's not saying much cause Norv is Norv.

I would even go further than that. I would say that San Diego was the best team that season, and the best team in that game, on that day. Problem was, all the turnovers went New Englands way, no matter who it was making the error. New England fumbles....New England recovers. San Diego fumbles...New England Recovers. San Diego picks off Brady, New England gets the ball anyway wins by 3.

If those two teams met again, exact same coaches, San Diego wins 90% of the time. The talent fell the way it was supposed to, but the ball bounced towards the Pats not most times, but every time.

It's OK, Reggie Wayne's fumble to himself a week later totally evened things out.
