I think ownership is a large part of it. I also think that's why teams like the Packers have an advantage because there is a board that makes decisions. IF the Packers don't improve and IF management keeps the GM and/or the GM keeps the coach, it will start to roll up hill. Unlike a single owner team, there is some merit to the fans complaining in Green Bay.

Lots of different ways to look at this. The long and short of it is that a team can fail, maybe even WILL fail even when one does an outstanding job but the other is out and out bad.
Some rosters are so bad that even a good coach will not succeed.
A horrible coach can fail even with a great roster.
Very good coaches with mediocre rosters can be very successful by getting the most out of what he has.
But...since the GM has control over the roster AND makes the hiring decisions on the head coach, ultimately he controls both sides of the issue.Comment
