First of all, the top two coaches are Lynn and Garrett. See Phredd's post and I would confirm that based on anecdotal evidence. Which does not disconfirm the OP's point because those are still run-tactic coaches.
However, OP, do you think the top 200 don't use those same coaches? Top 300? Top 1000? It is an equal playing field and the top 100 are always in the top 100 for a reason. I am a substantial disparager of OD (even though I play it and am always Top 500); moreover, I don't think choosing a coach and building him up qualifies as a "skill". However, I tip my hat to the Top 100--they are better than me and most of us; they're not just "lucky".
