Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs are the two best examples of this. Two coaches who were successful twenty years ago and everyone thinks that if teams hire these guys all of a sudden they will be in a Super Bowl in a year, when what actually happens is that they are there for a couple of seasons and they have one season where the team makes the playoffs before losing in the wild card round.

It's comparable to teams who sign Daunte Culpepper because they don't know what else to do. Yes, occasionally you have a year when Brad Johnson is the starting quarterback of a Super Bowl winning team, but that usually isn't the case 85% of the time.
