Which is more important?

You will not be faced with that choice. Genes determine that. You have to play with what "hand you have been dealt".

That being said - I firmly believe the two BEST coaches on the staff need to be with:

#1 O-Line

#2 D-Secondary

ASK ANY COACH WITH DECENT EXPERIENCE, WHO THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYERS ON THE TEAM ARE AND HE WILL TELL YOU THIS: 1. QB 2. PLACE KICKER 3. PUNTER


I HAD NTERVIEWED FOR A HEAD COACHING JOB IN THE ARENA LEAGUE AND WAS ASKED THAT QUESTION BY THE OWNER. WITHOUT HESITATION I GAVE HIM THE 3 LISTED ABOVE IN THAT ORDER.

HE LAUGHED AND TOLD ME HE HAD JUST TALKED WITH TOM COUGHLIN WHO WAS THE HEAD COACH OF THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AND WHO'S OFFICE WAS TWO DOORS DOWN THAT VERY MORNING AND TOM HAD GIVEN HIM THE SAME EXACT ANSWER.

MY POINT? ANY OFFENSIVE COACH WILL TELL YOU THAT IT ALL STARTS WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE WITHOUT DOUBT! AFTER A 42 YEAR ON FIELD CAREER AS A HC/OC/QB COACH I TOTALLY AGREE!
BUT, YOU CAN HAVE THE GREATEST OL EVER AND NOT HAVE THE SKILL PLAYERS TO MAKE PLAYS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO THEN? THAT GENTLEMEN, TO ME, IS WHY IT IS CALLED A TEAM SPORT!!!
WHO CAN SAY WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND BE RIGHT? Just my opinion.
