Coaches overrated?

(1/6) > >>

i always thought they were.

i mean Phil Jackson for example; won 10 rings with Michael Jordan (with a great cast) & Kobe Bryant (probably with a greater cast).

whose the two people always debated for GOAT? yeah, those two.

Doc Rivers coached during the worst Celtics season in history, then won a ring with three Hall of Famers; you going to tell me that he's a "good coach" or a "factor"?

you really think either one of these two would get the Nets a win?

Football coaches? yeah, some of them are better in certain areas of the game & have different principals; but the "best ones" just happen to have the best players lol.

you think Bill Belichick or Sean Payton would win a Super Bowl in St. Louis or Oakland this year?

Baseball coaches seem to take a lot of heat game in & game out; but again, the coaches with the best players win.

i know, i was talking about the worst teams in the league; but i don't think any coach i named with just presence alone would get any average team over the hump.

Payton on the Jets or Packers or Phil on the Bucks or in Utah.

i just feel they don't play that role on any team that truly determines games every week; it's like 95% talent on the field or court to me.

Teddy Roosevelt:
Coaches are defiantly overrated. In pro sports, unlike college or minor leagues, players are already developed (at least they should be). All some coaches can do is do the best with the talent he's got. The main job off coaching is to put your team one step further and maintain work ethic.

i agree, College or Minor League coaches should be more appreciated because they don't always get the players they want & they don't have the most elite players in the world either.

how hard can it be for Doc Rivers to say, alright; Rondo, Allen, Pierce, KG & Perkins; go out there & do your thang. :P

To an extent there's always gonna be an argument for Jackson. He's obviously a great coach cause his philosophies about playing the game have always stuck with his players and he's gotten respect from some of the tougher personalities in the game. But, I think most coaches would give anything to be able to coach players like MJ, Kobe, Pippen, Shaq, etc along with the great supporting casts they always played with.

Shallow:
Basketball is one thing, but football is another. The coaching staff of a football team can make a terrible team a great team over night, and it has to do with strategy more so than fire. A new coach can fire up a team mid-season like what happened to the Niners last year, but a new coaching system can change an organization. That's a fact. Parcells went to a 1-15 Miami, brought in his guys and over night they were 11-5 and in the playoffs. The same team with a new strategy. Pennington went from a liability on the Jets to a stud in Miami. Look at Kyle Orton in Denver, or the reverse effect, Cutler in Chicago.

Would Bellicheck turn around St. Louis mid season? No, but if he left NE for next season and brought Crennel and Wies with him they'd be in the playoffs next year (the division is a factor in that too).

Why do you think an NFL football team has a coaching bigger than most NBA and NHL teams? It is that important.
