RE: Offseason Hypo: Coaching
There are two Ditka's. One, Chicago Ditka, who was a great coach with an attitude the fans loved and the smarts to bring in the right coaches to help his team succeed. Then you have the N.O. Ditka. He's the one that thought it'd be fun to coach again forgetting that it's a lot of work. On top of that he brought in the wrong people. I thought Zavin was a good DC, but Danny was not OC material and that choice cost us. Still, though, he took a couple of really bad teams and a bad offense in particular and got 6 wins two years straight. All 3 years really should have been 3 win seasons.
On top of it all, I give Ditka credit for sticking it out that last year and wanting to right the ship. I lost a ton of respect for Jim Mora when he quit in the middle of the season. My philosophy on that is for a coach to build a team that sucks, he needs to stick around and suffer like the rest of us while we go 3-13. |
