Had Arthur Blank acted a little less patiently as the 2014 season wound toward the Super Bowl, the Falcons’ owner might have had Todd Bowles as his new head coach.

Had Woody Johnson been a bit more patient, the Jets’ owner might have had Seattle’s defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn.

Instead, Blank waited until the Super Bowl was over and Johnson jumped two weeks beforehand.

Quinn got Matt Ryan, Bowles got Ryan Fitzpatrick.
