The NFL had changed just a bit over those 11 years. Free agency as we know it didn't start until 93.
Policy served as GM for the 9ers. He was not the GM for the Browns.
This is more wording BS by you. The title for Walsh might have been the same, but the NFL landscape had VASTLY changed. And he only took the role for a few years.
Jimmy Johnson "failed" in Miami but I don't see us hiring a new head coach do you? So again the comparison is baseless. It's just something else you want to bitch about. |
More importantly, Johnson, Policy and Walsh were involved with teams where there was reckless disregard for cap space. The 49ers and the Cowboys outspent other teams by an absolute mile, and the level of talent in those organizations was off the charts. Not hard to get to the top when you have a franchise QB and a blank check to spend.
The point, though, is on the coordinators. Coordinators have a long history of thriving in multiple environments. Based on that, I don't see how anyone can complain about Weis. And Crennel... we'll see, but it's hard to say he's a bad hire at this point.
