OK, #1 Vermeil took the EAGLES to a superbowl and then won one with St Louis THEN came to KC.
Holmgren (as you stated) made it back to the superbowl... pretty damn good.
..and I notice three names missing...
Parcells, Shula and Reeves.
so, it looks about 50/50... which I am fine with saying that the argument holds no water... we are left to judge the coaches based on what they will/won't bring to the table NOW ...not any past garbage. (as a positive or negative)
Unfortunately, neither has been an OC/DC the last few years... so impossible to judge accurately... just guessing at this point.
We'll only KNOW the answer a few months into next season... maybe sooner if Weis is gonna run the exact same offense that Haley runs.
Past Superbowls do not translate into either good or poor performance the next time around. Period.
