Buddy's defensive focus never translated well into 'head coach', at least not with the teams he was given... He was amazing with the bears.

I think he understood defensive players, I think he never did understand offensive player egos. He and Ditka didn't get along, but he got the Bears their one and only Super Bowl. And that defense was just stunning. And it was missing two players who had been key the year before (Harris and Bell)

Some guys are great coordinators but can't make the transition to being an HC. History is littered with those guys.
