To me, "retread" is somebody who has coached here before.
Marty is a "retread". Cowher is a "retread". Andy Reid is not a retread. I'm not sure I like him as a HC (seems to have Martz-esque troubles with a balanced offense at times, moving an offensive line coach to DC seems monumentally stupid) but he fits the bill - 2nd job, no ring. |

Parcells was not a retread. He won everywhere he went. Cowher = 1 HC job. Reid = 1 HC job. Gruden = built one team that went to an AFCC game and the SB the next year. Took a team his first year to the SB and DESTROYED his old team. The idea that a team doesn't need a motivator as HC is the dumbest thing I keep hearing on here. I don't care where you work a positive mindset combined with competent execution of your goals is why any business works...

If we don't starting learning how to defy history we'll never have a franchise QB and will only win one more playoff game over the next 40 years.
Defying history is EXACTLY what we're looking for...

On the other hand, you can take the history of EVERY team and EVERY coach over the course of nearly a century - that's a sample size in the thousands - and not find a single coach that has won a championship with 2 different teams. They're not even close to the same idea. What you want is not defying history, it's simply changing behavior. Last edited by htismaqe; 11-20-2012 at 07:53 AM.. |

Bad teams with franchise QB's have knocked us out of the playoffs every year going back to 94... Quote:
30 years is too small a sample size?... Quote:
Won an AFCC game (Patriots.) That's two champ games in two different conferences. Then took the Jets to the AFCC game. At this hour I'm not sure about the chronological order there but you get the point...

And I'm sure Patriot and Jets fans were perfectly happy with Parcells NOT winning a Super Bowl there. Our goal isn't to make it to an AFC Championship game. Hell, Marty did that. Let's bring him back. |
