An elite quarterback is critical to any new head coach s success. Jimmy Johnson drafted Hall of Famer Troy Aikman for the Dallas Cowboys in the first round. Unfortunately, Steve Spurrier with Washington had no say in his quarterback options as his owner, Dan Snyder, made those decisions. Nick Saban wanted Drew Brees, but the Miami Dolphins medical staff failed Brees physical and Saban got stuck with Daunte Culpepper. Saban and Spurrier left the NFL after two years because they knew they couldn t win with the quarterbacks they had. The No. 1 reason Urban Meyer took the Jags job is Trevor Lawrence. And the ability to acquire Lawrence is significantly more important to our franchise in the long run than who the new head coach is. Your thoughts?
