Yet Parcells was discounted for having no more than "winning" on his resume.

My question remains: why is simply "winning" enough to qualify Lombardi to
be discussed as (perhaps) the greatest NFL coach of all time, but not
Parcells (who, by the way, brought "winning" to *four* different teams, and
"playoffs" to three of them)?
