Allen was an assistant with the Bears. Holmgren was HC only with the Packers and Seahawks.


Schottenheimer took the Browns to 2 AFC title games and at least one with Kansas City. And I'll never understand how he got fired after going 14-2 with the Chargers. As a Browns fan, I get that Marty was not a great playoff coach. In fact, it is painfully clear. But you can't win unless you get in the playoffs and Marty got his teams to the playoffs consistently.

Parcells' success gradually declined with each team he coached. 2 Super Bowl wins with 2 different QBs with the Giants, 1 Super Bowl appearance with Bledsoe in NE, and AFC title game with an aging Vinny Testeverde, and no real playoff success with the Cowboys. I'm not mentioning to take anything away from Parcells - he was a great coach. He took over bad teams and made them contenders in 1-2 years.


There was a rift between Schottenheimer and Chargers GM A.J. Smith and President Dean Spanos. It became worse after that 14-2 season when four assistants took jobs elsewhere, and Spanos thought the problem was rooted with Marty. From what I recall, Marty wanted to hire his brother to backfill one of the open positions and even though Spanos and Smith were against it, Marty was pushing forward with it anyway.

That first round playoff loss didn't help matters, though looking back it was to the Patriots, who went 16-0 that next season.
