Agree but those Philly teams experienced significant defections (White, Brown RIP) same with the NEP and Dallas.But that's what I call Barry Switzer/Pete Carroll ( in NE) syndrome. Take over a very good team and get progressively worse year to year. Carroll's Pats went 10-6, then 9-7 then 8-8.. Switzer took over a Super Bowl Champ IIRC and even won a SB but went 12-4, 10-6 then 6-10.....
Kotitie's team nose dived winning, 10,11,then 8,7,3,1. Kotite took over Buddy's Ryan awesome defense ( Ryan couldn't win a playoff game because he couldn't give 2 craps about special teams or the offense... makes you wonder how good Randall Cunningham could have been if he had support or a coach who built around him but I digress)and was a train wreck in slow motion. Living down here I got to see it up close and it wasn't pretty....
I'm not saying Kotite is a good coach. Hes not a team builder HC (like JJ, Tuna and even Buddy to an extent) and needed a very, very good personnel man
Philly isn't nice to any coach. Even Peterson is getting killed now.
