I didn't answer. The coach was not the difference.
Tony Eason needed an OL to defend him, a TE to block and defend and most of all, he needed a QB coach.
Our patriot team of the time would have wasted Marino, Elway or Kelly who were drafted with Eason in the greatest draft since the merger. I often wonder what would have happened to Eason if he went to Miami or Denver or Buffalo.
We all remember his doe eyes in the 1985 Super Bowl. That was after his blocking TE went out injured, and he was facing the best defense in the history of the NFL with a mediocre OL. And he never recovered from that day.
