Ummm....I value Steve's opinions but don't both Belichek and Paytoncome from the Parcells coaching tree and somehow they managed nit to look Luke the 90s Giants? If anything, the Falcons look more like the 90s Giants offensively.

This is must listen, he is fired up about the GM search. He says it is important for the next head coach to send a message to the fans and organization that we are going to embrace the legacy of what made the 49ers successful, from traveling to road games, to the way the 49ers practice, to scripting the first 15 plays, to running west coast offense style formations, etc...
He says it is already hard enough to win in the league, why not use the tools that makes most of the the teams successful - Saints, Patriots, Eagles, Colts, Falcons - he says all those teams use WCO plays even though they say its their own.
Quote:
To this day, Belichick insists Bill Walsh: Finding the Winning Edge is the greatest piece of football literature regarding a franchise blueprint ever written. Belichick read the book in the nuclear winter of his own coaching career, between the disaster with the Cleveland Browns and resurrection with the New England Patriots. At a time in his life time when Belichick was forced to re-examine his basic truths about team building, he wrapped his hands around the second of several books by Walsh.
When he was finished, Belichick's philosophical foundation as a coach had once again solidified beneath his feet.
"Saying it was outstanding wouldn't do it justice. For a coach, it's a Bible," Belichick said. "That book reinforced most of what I thought as a coach. I was glad to see Bill write it and say the things he did because a lot of it was either what I was trying to do or what I believed in. Between the book, the clinics, talking to Bill and picking things up from the (San Francisco) 49ers organization, there was certainly a confirmation in my mind that this is the way to do it."

It makes a ton of sense when you include philosophy into that equation. Some systems are built around the QB, others are built around D, running game, etc. For instance, you might be able to evaluate talent, but if your philosophy is to pound up the middle ever 1st and 2nd down................you would draft 2 olinemen. Don't be naive.

bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Willis is the best ILB/MLB in the NFL. We don't know what luck is other than a college kid that MIGHt be a star...and might be a bust.

So a good talent evaluator can only find good players for a specific system? That makes him worthless long term to an organization. I stand by my statement : weak ass argument.
