SkippyX Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 He has learned from Bill. He has learned from Romeo Crennel. He was also on BOBs staff and BOB was a coach under Belichick. He is connected to the tree in multiple ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every single coach that is (or will be) can be traced back to these two men. These two are the roots of modern day football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well, he coached under BOB who coached under BB, so he is part of the tree in the form of a branch's branch... but I assume you mean directly on BB's tree? I would say yes for practical purposes... Being a player under BB's staff for several years surely shaped his approach to the game and how he views it. However, traditionally speaking, coaching trees are pretty simple: if you were an assistant under a certain coach, you are part of their coaching tree.

So, is Kliff Kingsbury a part of Belicheck's tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Vrabel was there for 8 seasons, and 3 super bowl championships, how long was Kliff there for? That isn’t a fair comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 He's not a BB desciple and never was. He might have been influenced by BB, but that's not on the same level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 11 hours ago, Daniel said: I mean, BOB is on the Belichick tree, and Vrabel is on the BOB tree, so if you’re doing it that way, yes. If you aren’t, then no. This is also how coaching trees are traditionally done. It’s like a family tree. Your branches can have branches. So Vrabel would be on Bill’s tree from under BoB. I also think him spending the majority of his playing time on the Pats under Bill and having made his connection with BoB there would add particular credence to that. Most coaching trees are done this way and it’s why Walsh has a particularly strong one because his gets the Harbaughs, McCarthy, Tomlin, Dungy, Shanahan, Reid, etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gets interesting: Zimmer was brought to the pro's by Barry Switzer, he was a defensive coach for us since the early 90's. Way before Parcells. Garrett only had 1 year with Saban as a QB coach, but 3 with Wade Phillips as an OC. Sean Payton was an OC under Jim Fassell before coming to the Cowboys under Parcells.

He failed in the NFL. It was a mixed bag. One winning season, then management brought in the dumpsterfire that was Culpepper instead of Brees.
