AT BEST, assistant coaches are somewhat involved in actual wins and losses. Mostly, they're just there to do detail work that the HC doesn't have time to do. It's delegation.
At the end of the day, you're going to win or lose with the talent on the field. Coaching is icing on the cake.

Other than lining up 4 down lineman instead of 3, there's really not a whole lot of difference in the way this defense plays as opposed to Sutton's 3-4.
I mean, it's Honey Badger instead of Eric Berry yelling at the players to get into position before the ball is snapped...but there's a lot of the same disorganized chaos, players out of position, making shit reads, not turning their head for the ball...
But...honestly, Dee Ford lines up correctly and we win a Super Bowl with Sutton's defense...so...I think you're on to something.
