meant no disrespect to Reid, I think he's a great coach, just noting that in the context of winning, having an all-time QB certainly doesn't hurt (same with Belichek who was referenced earlier). Some guys also just mesh in certainly situations. Other than the 82 Braves, Joe Torre's managerial career was pretty ho-hum, but he came to the Yankees at just the right time, and having multiple all-time greats didn't hurt. I don't think he became noticeably smart baseball wise, he was just in the right place at the right time. That's what most of life is about.
