WHO IS THE BEST COACH IN THE NFC ??

Also call me crazy but I think we would be a better team with Mike Zimmerman as our head coach...defensive minded HC seems to be working for Brady

Yes, but he is the complete opposite of most former DC's when it comes to operating his offense.

Most former DC's go one of two ways (both of them wrong):

1. This used to drive me crazy, so it must be a good idea to base an offense around it. See wildcat offense, Rex Ryan, Tony Sparano and Brad Smith.

2. You cannot score on my defense if you do not possess the football. See Marty Schottenheimer and the run game, also late game's with a lead in the playoffs.

You have to have the correct retinue of advisors for this to work. Keep an eye on Minnesota - has their offense improved? I think it shows poor vision to compare coaches to Belicheat - he's really the most successful coach in NFL history, seen through a lens that takes into account what he did as an 'assistant' coach too. Coaches should be viewed by their success relative to the entire league, not just some ideal. Maybe you aren't seeing the bigger picture or are a bit myopic, seeing through a glass darkly. Maybe go to the opthamologist for a new prescription?

Hire a good OC like BB and handle the defense...when you have a QB like Rodgers you're always going to put points up anyway. The reason Brady has 5 rings is because he always has a top 10 defense backing him up.

The OC is one thing, but Billy completely remade their offense after the 3rd Super Bowl, moving away from the Erhardt Offense he and Parcels had been running for so long. He does more than defense.

Of course he changed his offense, it's a new game now with it being pass heavy. Bottom line is if Rodgers had a top 10 defense every year he would have more than one ring right now imo.
