A great COACH, understands his teams/players strengths and weaknesses and gameplans to his advantage. They dont run a power offense behind a weak OL. And when they have an athletic advantage, they dont just sit back on 3rd and long and let QBs pick us apart.
There are alot of problems with this teams on-field play that suggest our current coaches just dont understand the team they have. I want to believe Manny can fix this, but I'm not going to pretend this is his 1st year around these guys. He recruited just about everyone on D. So, with regards to your analogy, he brought the groceries and cooked the meal. Hes just a ****** chef!
