Rose is absolutely in a completely different tier to Favre. Already looks like one of the best coaches in the world to me. Why is winning the league that unrealistic? Bayern are great but they are absolutely not unbeatable and they have shown some significant flaws this season.
No, they (alongside Flick) are in that same tier of coaches below the Nagelsmann's of the world. Rose is more personable than the Swiss professor and prefers a more aggressive press, but he's not as strong of a tactician; his possession schemes being notably more primitive...and it's not like Plea is so much worse than Raffael was, that he could not do a lot of those things that the brazilian magician did.
Though he depends more on counters & set pieces, Rose's still good with possession. I am by no means trying to imply that he's a Kovac or Hassenhuttl...who haven't the first clue of what to do when their sides don't have space to run...just that Rose's not as intricate or creative as Favre can be and because of that, his gladbach sides haven't been able to reach quite as high of peaks as Favre's did; despite having more quality available to him.
Plus Rose's Salsburg wasn't as interesting as Favre's Nice; if we're going to judge them on what they did outside of german football.
Rose could certainly end up a better fit with BVB, but he's in the same class as Favre, and beating Bayern will continue to be an unrealistic expectation.
