bigmiamifan said:Well, since they are system based, I don't think they'll fall apart per say, more like just not win another SB. They can pick up some FAs and help thru the draft and they'll be fine. Much like us, Saban will build and rebuild in the same manner.
NathanHunt said:Exactly. Players are NOT their achilles heel. Coaching, however, could be. Losing both coordinators will seriously affect their ability to remain dominant.
Even though system based, the system is not an entity in itself. The administrators and designers of the system need to be in place for it to work.
NE will encounter a "rebuilding" phase, unlike what other teams endure. The knowledge is still in Bill's head, but building chemistry and getting everyone on the same page will take time for the new staff. They'll make the playoffs, but, I don't see them defending their crown this year.
IF they do, BB deserves to be included in arguments of "The Greatest Coach of All Time".
Enduring player loss is one thing, enduring player loss and coaching loss is another.
