In free agency or post-trade, you gotta perform on the field if you're gonna stick.
Do drafting and coaching (don't ignore position coaches) have something to do with it? Yes. Obviously, yes. But if you don't bring the coachable talent with you into the draft, you don't stick - regardless the coaching afterward.
Drafting matters. Given differing decision-making draft input (interference, maybe, where he'd do better if freed up to do his job,) from two disparitively different head coaches, I'll come down on the side of Snead. Trading, same thing. He ain't done all that bad.
I remember mentioning that IMO the "coach" was responsible for "coaching up" players but was told I was wrong.
I think I remember someone on this board a while back defending one of our coaches saying that the coaches really don't develop players anymore. It's more about teaching them the plays and game day duties or something like that. There isn't enough time to "coach up" players due to the lack of "practice" time or "drill" work.
I am not sure which is correct but if the coaches aren't responsible for "coaching up" young players then they better be pretty darn good when they arrive and the coaches better put them in the right position to play up to their strengths.
Some coaches are better at that than others. Some coaches are better when working with 3 HOF'ers than they are when working with rookies or other players that might need a little "help" to succeed.
I think we will learn a lot more about our "coaches" after this year is over. Will they be able to make these young guys better?
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
