billick coached the #1 offense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong defense

dungy coached the #1 defense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong offense

not sure if gruden ever coordinated a #1 unit... but he won a super bowl with a big defense, while he was an offensive coach

rivera had #1 defenses and is now coaching a team with a much better O than D

uhhhhh

Tampa's D was ranked #1, and Dungy was the coach the year before, Sapp said that all Gruden did was take Dungy's cake out and put the icing on...

But, their Superbowl win against the Raiders, the Raiders had the #1 O and the Bucs had the #1 D...Gruden coached the Raiders the year before

Yep. All four were known as specialists on one side of the ball, but coached teams that were better known for the other side.

The three coaches named all won Super Bowls with those teams relatively early in their career. Gruden in his first year with the Bucs, Billick in his second with the Ravens, and Dungy in his fifth with the Colts.

Rivera's only had one year as a head coach, but in that year the team was better known for offensive prowess than for Rivera's specialty of defense. Can Rivera have similar early success in the years to come? Time will tell.

Kudos. I thought it'd take longer for someone to get it :thumbsup:

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down. 
    • Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
