Good coaching, bad coaching, and typical coaching

I love coming to TKP now and reading all the write-ups on things, and I also enjoy various sports and seeing the designs in things. With regards to coaching, and specifically in regards to OC, DC, and HC on a football team, I'd like to make a few observations and get a few opinions on things.

We've had a lot of people criticize coaching, and it gets worse in game where there's poor performance.

Here's what I see in football:

A bad coach is one with consistent bad performance, regardless of personnel. I'm not naming examples in any of these observations, but we all have ideas. A bad coach can do a whole lot of nothing, even if they had an entire team of 4 and 5 star recruits.

A typical coach (and this makes up a lot of college football) has typical performance, being good or bad depending on personnel. This kind of coach can have one of the best offenses or defenses in the nation if the personnel is there, but can have the worst in the nation if the personnel isn't there.

A great coach can have the same as the typical coach, but does it regardless of personnel. A great coach can take people that aren't recruited highly and turn them into star talent. A great coach consistently gets his team to perform at a high level, but isn't immune to poor performances.

We all know Bud is a great coach...he has had a couple down years for one reason or another, but he consistently creates a dominant defensive team.

We know Beamer is a great coach as he consistently takes teams and turns them into teams that can win, even without top tier (coming out of high school) talent.

It's hard to say what Loeffler is at this point, though I'd put him in the typical category because I imagine what this offense would look like with the right personnel, and it's scary.

What do you guys and gals think?
