Scott Pioli
Dayton Moore
Carl Peterson
Allard Baird
Pioli and Moore especially are great examples of highly touted guys coming in who have either completely failed on an epic level (Pioli) or shown significant inadequacies in judgment when it comes to individual players and roster management (Moore).
John Dorsey and Andy Reid probably would have STILL gotten the benefit of the doubt from everyone if they hadn't immediately done the EXACT same thing Pioli did (and the EXACT same thing Chiefs leadership has been doing for 3 decades).

This.
Also Andy Reid loses points with me because frankly Mike Vick was a turn over machine and did a bad job imo with the Eagles. That was a vet QB that was suppose to start being more efficient passing the ball. I don't see that Andy Reid is that much of a QB guru people are claiming he is. I like Andy Reid but I'm not "in like" with Andy Reid.
