3 of the top 8, Stram @ 8, Marty @ 4, and Vermiel @2, second only to the no-brainer Lombardi.
So this team has a long history of being well-motivated, but not champions [well, Stram was a champ, . . . before I was born ;)].
Guess in those terms, that's the biggest indictment of CP. He choses the right leader, but fails to assemble a complete squad for him. Guess that's why I'm cautiously giddy that Herm [an honorable mention for the list] appears to have changed his thinking. Jimmy Johnson, Bill Walsh, Bill Bellichik, no where near the list because they assembled talent that motivated themselves. Let's hope we're heading there.
