But Reid can't ever seem to win the most important games, Shanahan has won all of 1 playoff game since Elway retired, and Holmgren had mediocre teams while acting as GM in Seattle. The year they stripped him of his GM duties? They won the NFC Championship, and save for some AWFUL calls should have been Super Bowl Champs. The overall track record of coach/GM isn't a good one. Gibbs put his ego aside when he brought in Saunders to "modernize" the offense. He should use that same humility with the personnel decisions.
