billick coached the #1 offense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong defense

dungy coached the #1 defense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong offense

not sure if gruden ever coordinated a #1 unit... but he won a super bowl with a big defense, while he was an offensive coach

rivera had #1 defenses and is now coaching a team with a much better O than D

uhhhhh

Tampa's D was ranked #1, and Dungy was the coach the year before, Sapp said that all Gruden did was take Dungy's cake out and put the icing on...

But, their Superbowl win against the Raiders, the Raiders had the #1 O and the Bucs had the #1 D...Gruden coached the Raiders the year before

Yep. All four were known as specialists on one side of the ball, but coached teams that were better known for the other side.

The three coaches named all won Super Bowls with those teams relatively early in their career. Gruden in his first year with the Bucs, Billick in his second with the Ravens, and Dungy in his fifth with the Colts.

Rivera's only had one year as a head coach, but in that year the team was better known for offensive prowess than for Rivera's specialty of defense. Can Rivera have similar early success in the years to come? Time will tell.

Kudos. I thought it'd take longer for someone to get it :thumbsup:

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
