I think there are coaching tiers.

(T1)At the bottom , you have coaches that haven't the slightest idea what they are doing regardless of talent.
*see Mike Brown, VDN, (ps, how the fuck did this guy get rehired by the Cavs, I would be livid)

(T2)The lower tier, you have coaches who are competent enough to be competitive, but ultimately losers.
*see Lawrence Frank, Terry Stotts, Flip Saunders

(T3)Mid tier, you have coaches that get exactly what you expect from the roster. They add no value but they don't take anything away either.
*see the Van Gundy's, Rick Carsile, Mike Woodson, Pringles, Erik Spoelstra

(T4)Upper Crust, Guys who outperform the expectations of your roster.
*see Tom Thibodeau , Doc Rivers, Mark Jackson, Rick Adelman, LB, George Karl

(T5)The Hall of Famers. Guys who maximize the potential of a roster by design, cohesion, or teaching.
*see Phil Jackson, Greg Popavich, Jerry Sloan.

So the way I look at it is this.
If you have a bottom 14 team. A T5 Coach can probably get you in the playoffs and a 7 game first round(50/50)
A T4 will get you swept in round 1
A T3 will just miss the playoffs
A T4 is in the lottery
A T5 is picking top 3.

If you have a 16-8 team A T5 coach will get you swept in the finals
A T4 is going to the conference finals
A T3 first round 7 game series (50/50) renewed
A T4 swept out of the first round and shitcanned.
A T5 misses playoffs and gets shitcanned.


If you have a top 8 team A T5 coach will get you a ring
A T4 will get you to the conference finals
A T3 gets you game 7 (50/50) of round 2
A T4 loses a 7 game series in round one. Shitcanned
A T5 gets swept out of the playoffs. Shitcanned

If you have a top 4 team A T5 is getting you a ring
A T4 is losing to the T5
A T3 lost to them both in the conference final
A T2 got upset in round 2 Shitcanned.
A T1 loses a 7 game series in round 1. Shitcanned.

If you are Mike Brown, you got pictures of owners fucking little boys and keep getting paychecks.
