Brilliant coaches like Bill Walsh, Jimmy Johnson, Parcells, Bill Belichick, Kyle Shanahan, Andy Reid.... make their players smarter. With that intelligence comes fewer mistakes, and faster, more aggressive play. Confident play. But they also infuse football IQ up and out through an entire organization...impacting the GM, owner, and out the tendrils to the scouts.
In many respects a top visionary coach becomes king...of those lower on the pecking order...but through IQ and personal leadership...up to the top. They acquire the latter form of leadership through merit. Even those with big money and power see, "It's wise that I follow him. I will defer."
These top-order coaches are clear, persuasive and emphatic articulators, making their players more decisive and quicker in action. They see further and deeper and they can convey to the front office the type of players they need, the culture required, and the play style to move forward. Their aggressive plan not only dissects opponents, but melts organizational shortfalls.
Staley is a gem, but it won't just show up in how it impacts the players. This entire franchise is about to get smarter, which will sculpt better decisions, sharpen the directional arrow, and lead to a much more successful franchise. Get your popcorn ready, my friends.
