The 25 Finalists (The Influence of Coaching)

When compiling a list of the ten greatest Packer players of all-time there are many things about the historic franchise that stand out. First and foremost, is the impact that Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi had on the NFL history books. A vast majority of the finalists played under one of those two coaches and it really got me thinking about how great coaching is unique to football. In other sports, winning and losing is driven by player empowerment. Do you really think Eric Spoelstra was an immortal coach for winning 2 NBA Championships in 4 years with the likes of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and even Ray Allen (sorry Bucks fans) all on the court at once?
