I have visited this forum from time to time for at least 8-10 yrs and the various teams that Montana could have, might have or should have played for is staggering. I think the only teams not mention were the entire WFL simply because he was too young.
General question but was O'Donnell's mishaps all his fault or should the receiver share some responsibility? I'm more in the receiver was more of the issue than O'Donnell camp.

I agree totally. It was pretty clear to me that O'Donnell was throwing to where the receiver was supposed to be ... but he wasn't there.

Maybe they wind up with Gruden in 1998 instead of 2002, or maybe they wind up with Brian Billick in 1999. I think with the talent the Bucs were accumulating in the late 90's (Sapp, Lynch, Brooks, Keyshawn etc), they were going to be successful regardless of who the coach was, and with the new capital coming in from Glazer, they could afford to bring in some quality free agents, and they would have went after a first time coach like Dungy as opposed to bringing a journeyman who has coached elsewhere.
I don't think we should ever assume that a team would win or lose no matter who the coach is. That would be severely underestimating the role.
