Mike and Brook debate whether talent is more important than coaching.   Mike points out that Vince Lombardi inherited a 1-13 team in '58.  Two years later that same team with the same players were in the NFL Title Game.      Talent is important, but Coaching is about developing that talent.  Baker Mayfield was NOT developed by Kevin S. in fact he was ruined.  The same case can be made for Gabriel.  Fire Stefansky, bring in vet...

Coaching is about making your players better. Like Bill Callahan turning Wyatt Teller into an All Pro.  Or Belichick turning Wes Welker into a weapon.   Instead we have to watch Offensive Tackles go one on one against all pros with no help.

Time for an attitude change.
