Parcells and Cowher have been very successful treading the middle, which few can do. Most end up like Shannanrat with mediocrity year in and year out.
The Chiefs were so completely bankrupt of talent at the end of DV's tenure I don't think they had a choice. They tried to get younger and more talented without rebuilding, but the whole thing just fell apart last year.

This argument would be correct if a lot of the players Shanny drafted were cut and had success elsewhere because he refused to wait for the to develop. I don't know the answer to this question, but my guess would be there were very few who developed elsewhere.
