First of all because it's not applicable.
Coughlin has been to one SB as a head coach. He flamed out spectacularly in Jacksonville.
Second of all, that's a horrible comparision.
Let me go grab a box of crayons so I can draw it out for you.
Tom Coughlin=Parcells guy, but flexible. Will play QBs drafted high, high priced vets or guys off the street. More importantly, he gives his coordiinators carte blanche. He doesn't stick to the 3-4 b/c it was ordained by the almighty Parcells.
What is Pioli doing?
Well, he's going with the same defense (that doesn't fit the talent) that he had in NE. He's going with the same offense that he had in NE. He's going with the same coordinators he had in NE. And he's picking up the same scrubs cast off from New England.
The NFL is a living entity. It changes, evolves, and adapts. The arrogance of Pioli comes from not how he is rarely interviewed or that he locks down the facility, it's from the fact that he thinks he's found a panacea that can some how stop the evolution of the game, and that by simply assembling the same pieces that existed somewhere else he can achieve the same success he had in the past.
That's a flawed strategy on two fronts:
1) History shows that it doesn't work
2) You can never exactly re-create any situation.
And yet in spite of all this, in spite of all our scouts supposedly attending every pre-season game, in spite of the fact that we have the most talent-bereft roster in the league, what do we do?
1) Freeze out all our scouts but one douchetard who was fired from NE
2) Sign no people after PS cuts save for one Pats scrub
3) Sign guys off the street who almost universally have ties to the tree in which he sprouted from. (Of course the one success was from a guy w/o connections...shocking)
Well guess what, Chiefs fans.
Tom Brady isn't walking through that door. Bill Belichick is not walking through that door and Richard Seymour isn't walking through that door.
