t'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 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.

While it's possible to field decent teams with mediocre or subpar coaches, it doesn't mean it's easy to be a good coach. Even if there are a decent amount of teams you can beat with talent alone, when it comes time to start facing other talented teams, if your coaching staff can't make adjustments and substitute wisely, you're gonna have a bad time. Maybe you can make the tourney with meh coaching, but you're very unlikely to make it farther than the first weekend.

If you are bringing in elite talent, you are a good coach.
