Because all time greats are excellent at obscuring flaws within a system. Bill is one of the best we've ever seen at coaching defenses so the DC cannot be gauged objectively and Brady similarly cloaked offensive ineptitude for years.
Not all that surprising that an organization that was effectively a two person brain trust has failed to bear successful fruit.
Something else that needs to be considered is how these numbers compare to other coaches in general. The article highlights that four of the ten have a winning percentage of 38% or less, but that doesn't seem that far off from coaches in general. The good ones stick around, the rest have 2-5 year stints and are fired, and I feel like a 38% winning percentage would be right in line with a typical head coach's career
They also are not counting the mountain of success his coaching tree has produced in the college ranks
