To draw on a football analogy, I seem to recall a certain Bobby Petrino coaching under John L. Smith. Chris Petersen coached under Dan Hawkins.

I guess the point is, you can never really tell who is responsible (or if it were a magic combination of someones), but you hope you eventually get the guy who can make a new situation work on his own.
