I'm not saying guys like Shanahan and Holmgreen aren't good coaches that can benefit a team, and in most situations you would be better off hiring someone like that instead of a random defensive backs coach from the Buffalo Bills. But if you look at teams that have won a Super Bowl in the last twenty years, or have een made the Super Bowl for that matter, you won't find many teams who got there with a "rebound coach". Hiring Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs, or Jim Mora doesn't help your franchise in the long run. I guess it's better than being stuck with some doofus like Rod Marinelli and going 3-13, but chances are you are not going to be a realistic Super Bowl contender with a coach like that. It's good for short term hype really and nothing else.
