Its more then just the coaching. The biggest underrated factor in forming a great team is the front office. You get these teams where the front office is littered with people of the same last name.(see Arizona, Cincy, San Deigo) People who are just there because they have an uncle who owns a chunk of team. People who are unlikey to be fired and they know it, then you see why some teams are bad for so long.
