The Dean Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 One might argue that this is exactly what happened on the 1995 Cowboys? Or was it 1994? I can never keep it straight. That year they won the Super Bowl with Barry "Packin' Heat" Switzer as HC. Dean, you and I could have coached that team to the Super Bowl. Okay, you would have coached, and I would have perhaps fluffed the towels, but both of us would have gotten rings. That had NOTHING to do with coaching, and everything to do with an amazing collection of talent. Are you suggesting that Barry Switzer was something less than a FANTASTIC NFL coach? I am so shocked! Seriously, though, some teams were so stocked with talent (less likely now), that a coach might be more likely to get in the way of success. For a couple of seasons, Switzer knew enough to stay the hell out of the way, and let the players play. I give him credit for doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
