Ahhh... The chicken or the egg? Is it the coach or the players? Is Brady great because of Belichik or the other way around? One thing the coach does there is find players that he can make better. Are they able to overcome less physical ability because they are smarter?
You can force a square peg into a round hole however that doesn't make it a good fit. At the end of the day, the players are responsible for making plays. Blame the coach, the GM or whomever you want however, the players aren't getting it done. Even if the players aren't top of the line, they have to be pretty good to even play at this level.
Does the coach make the DB run into the WR giving up a 50 yard penalty? Does the coach make DL unable to get off blocks? Does the coach make LB run into the backs of their own players instead of filling the holes? Does the coach make players arm tackle and play without discipline?
At the end of the day, it's on the players.
