secret to good coaching is?

Adapted from the article, Super Bowl 59 winners and losers: Eagles come together as Chiefs fall apart, by Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY where Mr. Middlehurst-Schwartz writes:
“You want to know what the secret to good coaching is?” Sirianni asked on NFL Network’s postgame show. “Get good players.” Roseman [Philadelphia Eagles GM] has unquestionably done that and then some. After Philadelphia flamed out in spectacular fashion to end last season, the architect of the roster embarked on what will be remembered as one of the most aggressive and transformative offseasons in league history. He netted massive returns on free-agent contracts both big (2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley) and small (NFL Defensive Player of the Year finalist Zack Baun), and a draft class highlighted by Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean took the secondary from a weak point to a source of strength. Recall what A.J. Brown said on Opening Night: “I think Howie Roseman is the reason we are here tonight.”
I am reminded of a college game years ago when a feller named Keith Jackson was the play caller for ABC Sports and after some stellar play, Mr. Jackson quietly said … “It’s the players … not the plays.”
On the other hand, the line, ‘… get good players” reminds me of comedian Steve Martin’s bit, “You can make a Million Dollars … and not pay any income tax.”
Made it sound so easy.
Especially as the instructions started, “First … Make a million dollars .. then … “
Secret to good coaching?
Just get good players.
