With the recent news of Sean Payton getting traded over to the Denver Broncos, one of my least favorite lines of argument flooded my Twitter timeline: “it’s never happened before.” In this case, no Head Coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two franchises. File this under the category of something that’s true until it isn’t. It’s a fun fact, not exactly useful in predicting the future.
Sometimes when you see something enough, you need to investigate. Maybe the game passes coaches by or maybe the formula that worked once won’t do in another city.
