McBeane will always have "we broke the playoff drought"
All the "yeah buts" in the world won't change that. You can "explain" why that doesn't mean ________ but nobody cares. I could "explain" how NE winning the Super Bowl last year was was due to a coin flip in the AFC Title game and a KC player lining up Offside when Brady threw the game ending pick.
Again, nobody cares. 6 rings.
Football is a crazy sport. Rex was probably a horrible PI call in London from being the guy to break the drought (they went 8-8 that year) and he would probably still be here today.
But he didn't and he isn't.
