And if you want to denigrate his coaching on last year's championship team by saying he had all those star players so of course he did well, then I'm sure you'll agree with me that Joe Bugel is a dunderhead too. After all, when Bugel won titles he had nothing but Pro Bowl players on the OL (May, Grimm, Jacoby, Lachey, Bostic).
Here's the deal. Good players make good coaches look REALLY good. That is the situation that Steve Spagnuolo finds himself in with the Giants. He is a good coach and a good coordinator and the Giants have built a defensive unit that plays well together. He didn't do all of that; he played a part in all of that. Same goes for just about every other coach on every other winning NFL team.

I'm not denigrating him. But Tripp was basically making it out that Spagnulo was some kind of genious or something. And Blache was an idiot for blitzing Manning. I'll just put it this way. Spagnulo is a good coach, but his job is much easier than Blache'.
