SEATTLE — Bill Belichick. Greatest coach ever, right? Except he hasn't done much of anything since Tom Brady left and produced just one winning season during his five years in Cleveland.
Larry Brown. Mr. Fix It, right? Except once the king of reclamations got to New York in 2005, he went 23-59 and the Knicks nixed him.
There are a host of similar examples throughout the sports landscape, where legendary coaches are reduced to some dude in a headset or suit based on the talent around him. Excuse the throat-clearing here, that's just a long way of saying that Sean Payton isn't going to fix Russell Wilson and the Broncos.
