Good point, Lovie Smith was more successful than Bill Belichick in his first 5 seasons.
It’s clear what my point is, there are a lot more variables here.
Tony Dungee built the team Gruden won with.
At Indy, Dungee had possibly the greatest QB of all time.
Mike Tomlin won with a team that was largely built during Bill Cowher’s management.
And Smith won’t win at Houston because he’s not going to manage there.
I get what you’re saying.
I’m a little surprised Brian Billick has never gotten another chance to coach. Hmmm.
