to be fair, a cohesive organisation will make everyone look good. The Panthers were a laughingstock team not too long ago until Zito changed all that. Maurice wasnt a tier 1 coach until he stepped into a good organization and he got the support to shine, you can see that extra bounce his step during the run.From a talent perspective it would be some sort of travesty if they managed to miss the playoffs with a roster that good.
That said, "having a coach like Tocchet" is a statement that really means nothing when he's made the playoffs in 2 of his 9 seasons as head coach. I'm not hopping on that hype train just yet, maybe in due time.
