General Staff: Good chance that if your administration is full of ****, so is your training staff and equipment guys. You have to make sure you address it at some point.
Assistant Coaches: You can't turn loose your shiny new problem solving dudes on coaches that suck.
There are so damn many places that can make an otherwise good coach/QB/System/Approach fail it's ridiculous. That's why the failure rate is through the roof.
But yeah, the smart guys get a competent guy to plug the holes and bring some professionalism. Then you can look for YOUR guy. Not A guy, but YOUR guy.

There are maybe a half dozen teams out there right now being held back by trash QB play.
Just off the top of my head I think you have the Falcons, Panthers, Colts and Jets. The Lions would qualify, IMO, as would the Commanders. The Texans suck too hard to make that list. The Bears and Broncos might be pot-committed.
But any of those other teams have a path to both trading for Carr and acquiring a young QB who can take them the rest of the way over the top. And I think both Levis and Richardson have the right mix of tools to be great and warts to push them into gettable range.
So now you just gotta get it right. The plan is the easy part - this seems like a no brainer. The execution is the problem. We'll see if any of these GMs have the chops/stones to pull it off.
