$100 million QBs are commonplace in this league now. That is typical starter money, $20-25 million a year.

So since neither of them are here now, how would they go about doing it? McDaniels certainly isn't the answer.

You have no idea what the answer is or what a coach even does in the NFL so your opinion doesn't matter.

They stand there and clap. That is all. If a coach does that then dam likes him.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

If you want my answer, it's great scouting and drafting. It's the common thread of every consistently good franchise. Coming away from each draft with at least two quality starters is crucial, and the more that can be found per draft, the better. Supplementing through free agency should be minimal, and rarely with high dollar contracts. Good coaching helps, but Mike Tomlin proves every year that an average coach with a great scouting department and the support of the franchise can deliver great results. Mike McCarthy has proven that in every one of Aaron Rodgers's healthy years as well. Consistency in coaching also seems to be more important than quality. But no head coach will make your team a contender without a good scouting department behind them and at least one of: a franchise QB and an elite defense, and preferably both.

Not quite sure what your point is here. Lewis is an example of a good head coach who has been stunted by the lack of a scouting department in his organization. That's probably why they never fire him, Mike Brown knows it's his fault that the team on the field isn't producing when it isn't.
