I once sat next to Marshall Faulk at an airport bar. He and I had a long conversation about all things sports. But the one thing he said that I thought was absolutely ridiculous - yet I deferred to him as an NFL HOFer - was that NFL head coaches were completely overrated in terms of their team’s success.
Yet we spend all of this time blaming Reid implicitly because Dee Ford was 4 inches offsides, because Alex Smith couldn’t locate a wide open Tyreek Hill streaking down the field, and because Anthony Hitchens can’t tackle a dead cat on a stretcher.
Reid isn’t perfect. But good luck naming me the coaches (ex-Belichick) that have a fan base that doesn’t bitch and complain about some aspect of their performance.
