I dunno, with Gruden getting 10 million a year and 10 years, I don't know if Peters can resist the money. I'd have bet CC's house that Gruden wouldn't sign with the Raiders. But he did. I don't really know much about Peters, but you also have to give credit to Kyle and his eye for talent too.
I get that. This deal certainly changes the landscape for sure and it may now effect all HC's and GM's going forward. So who knows.
Also add to that - the fact of the HC/GM dynamic. The GM can get the players, but if the HC doesn't believe in that player, the HC isn't going to coach said player up. I think that happened in the Baalke/Harbaugh situation. In other words the HC has a great influence on whether a certain player develops or not, via reps and practice time. Kubiak leaves Denver and all of a sudden that franchise is in trouble. In other words was the drop in talent level in Denver because of Kubiak leaving or Peters leaving? Tough to figure that out, though.
