A couple years ago people were saying it’s nearly impossible for Mike McCarthy to have a bad record in Green Bay with Ted Thompson, one of the best execs in the league. There’s some merits to it, although personnel decisions are more or less a team effort these days.

But you could certainly associate a coach’s success with the players acquired by the old regime, Dave Wannstedt and Barry Switzer from Jimmy Johnson for example. But is there a valid case where the GM deserves the vast majority of credit in a coach/GM duo within the same regime?
