I’ve only been watching the NFL for a few years, but I’ve been nothing but impressed by Spags’ defenses. Especially 2022, when most of his squad was replaced by rookies. What specifically made him such a bad head coach?

    Nobody ever learns.

    Some guys are not destined to be the top dog. They can be great at handling one side of the ball and play design, but give then a full team and it’s a crapshoot.

    Sure, sometimes you get Kyle Shannahan or Robert Saleh.

    A lot of times (I would say mainly) you get Todd Bowles (fantastic during the Bucs Super Bowl run, his Jets and Bucs head coaching is legitimately awful), Dennis Allen (crested some great defenses during the late Payton Saints years, one of the worst head coaches in the league), Dan Quinn (his story is currently still being edited, but trust me that this defensive genius is going to choke away key moments just like in Atlanta), even one of the all time great defensive coordinators Dick Lebeau was abysmal as the Bengals head coach (12-33 in 3 seasons that led to Marvin Lewis being seen as awake and innovative).
