Coaching can get you going, yes. But if your players aren't actually as good as your coaching is, that'll be exposed at some point and it was during the playoff game and then the entire season following it and ever since.

I don't think Haley was a "leader of men" and many of his tactics left a lot to be desired. You could probably mask a lot of that with a good QB, but I don't think players were excited to play for him or come here in free agency if they had options.
That said, he was a far better coach than we have now, because he at least was able to focus on the team once he actually hired an OC, and was able to scare guys into being afraid of fumbling and throwing picks, which is what you are left with when your team ain't that good...
