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:

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
