It's tough to coach, but it seems a lot easier for a mediocre coach to sort of hide behind very good players in basketball than it is in football. If you're a bad basketball coach, you can still make the dance with a talented roster, but if you're a bad coach in football, you're most likely gonna be gangbanged by the teams on your schedule regardless, especially in the SEC where most teams have a lot of talent.

Exactly what I am getting at. You can hide behind elite talent and one player can put you in contention every year. I don't know why I am getting downvotes. I figured it would be a good debate.

Exhibit A: Johnny Jones.

Billy Kennedy has to actually make the dance before he can be considered "exhibit b".

Thats false. Mizzou has/had 5 Top 100 players, and we are in our two worst seasons in history.

Eh, tackling on defense has little to do with coaching (gameplanning or in game adjustments). Good runningbacks can dominate a game with little to no coaching by breaking tackles.
