The great coaches would have been great coaches in any era. They were great because they understood people psychologically. They would adapt to succeed. I wish I could explain myself better, but if one reads any book about Lombardi it would explain.

In 2014 in SB up 14-7 w/ :30 left in second half; let Seattle go 80 yards in :25 seconds, to tie game at half; the then got blown out in 3rd Q ended up needing 2 TDs late in game to be in position to win; but the D blew it and only Seattle’s incompetence allowed NE to hold on.

2013, ill-prepared blown out by Denver

In 2012, up 13-7 at half against a WC Balt. and folded like a cheap suit ended up losing in a blowout.

In 2011 up 17-9 in middle of 3rd and lose to Giants; Belicheck mismanaged TOs on Giants go ahead drive and the clock on final drive.

In 2010, got hammered by WC Jets and Sanchez; Jets in control the whole way

In 2009 got blown out by WC Baltimore 24-0 in 1st Q

In 2007, 18-0 for season and choked in 4th Q against Giants

In 2006, up 21-3 and choked big time against Indy

In 2005, blown out by Jake Plumber and Broncos

The worst coach in the NFL could do well with the Packers because he'd have the QB.

We definitely fall short in the coaching category, although, I think the SB winning season under Mike McCarthy was among the best, if not the best, coaching job ever.
