He picked guys who were good at very specific jobs, but terrible in all other aspects to not threaten him as HC. But these incompetent lackeys are so arrogant and incurious about the game that they never improved or adapted. Which was kind of the point of hiring them in the first place. But it leads to guys like Bill O’Brien trying to run every offense they’ve worked with for the past decade like it’s still the mid-2000s. Or Patricia and McDaniels being abusive dictators because they thought that’s what Bill’s secret was. But they tried to do it all themselves rather than hiring a group of highly specialized sycophants to do their bidding like Bill did. If Bill was abusive, it was probably to keep these morons in their place. They do it because that’s how they think a HC should act.
