Based on this article, it seems that players care about their quality of day to day life more than what fans perceive as the overall ability of a head coach. The worst coaches were the white drill sergeant type - Belichick, Coughlin, Gruden, Magnini. These guys yell, scream, fine and run a tight ship.
It raises several observations in my mind. First, if the majority of players (black players) don't care for white coaches who scream at them then that would explain the semi-lack of success of Gunther and Krumrie.
Second, since the players seem to value coaches who are "player coaches" rather than X's and O'x guys, that could mean the players don't believe coaches play as much of an important of a role as fans think.
Pretty cool article.
