nero47 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Unlike star players who can go from team to team and succeed based on their talent, a Star coach must assemble first a coaching staff equal to his previous staff and install a system similar. Then he must find all the parts(players) necessary to execute the system. Finally he must have the desire to win again. In most cases, it is very difficult to obtain all the necessary players and most importantly to rekindle the fire. As examples, I would point to V. Lombardi, J. Johnson, Gibbs, Parcells (although he did get back to the SB with NE, He is probably the only exception). There is generally a reason why coaches retire. IMHO, it is usually burn out. Coaches who want to spend time with their children during the teen years have already missed the boat. It's nice but it is about the coach not the child. When the come back the game is not the same, and the desire is not the same. Cowher needs to stay in the studio unless he is really hungry. Buffalo, although not the best situation would provide a great challenge for someone with the fire to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think Lombardi deserves a pass - he did die a year after taking over the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
