Ima go with maybe an out the box take here. BB knows how to talk with people. Whether it’s young black dudes or older white guys everyone in the middle does not matter he can connect with people. Maybe it’s something he’s learned or it’s innate. However he can be a dick of a coach cause as a person he can be funny,relatable and decent.
His protégés completely fail at this. They try to be Belichick the coach whose a dick all the time and this why their players tend to hate them. They can’t connect with their guys
I basically have the same thought about Tomlin. You hear former players talk about the accountability demanded from Tomlin and I think it’s a specific personality thing where he can get guys to play their best for him.
It’s different from guys like McVeigh where the protégés are valuable because of the offensive schemes they learn from these coaches (I’m sure this is oversimplifying).
Ultimately the skill set of a good CEO style coach probably isn’t easy to cascade to the other coaches compared to the offensive minded coaches.
