We are talking about the years here.
If Andy Reid is the coach of this team for 5 or more years and he fails to win a SB, then ultimately he has not succeeded, much as he didn't in Philly.
If you win more games than you lose, win some playoff games, but no SB, you can not be labeled a failure, but neither should you be labeled a success.

And if Andy Reid wins in the playoffs, makes an AFC Championship appearance and never wins a Super Bowl, he'll still be considered a success to the overwhelming majority of fans.
Super Bowls are nice but in addition to great ownership, front office, coaching and personnel, there is absolutely a certain amount of luck involved.
