Many people who were successful at one team are then not successful at their next football team. I don't see where Holmgren or Parcells or even Fisher have been that successful last two years. They have been successful before that.
I too, might like a stronger OC so the HC can be the HC during the game and HC is not the play caller. Wouldn't mind a stronger or more vocal GM, however teamwork is very important as well.
Does our GM report to the President, Jamie Rootes. I suppose that could be a stronger football person as well.
Most of the successful teams actually have the lowest total salary cap expense because they have been drafting well for 10-15 years.

I had a funny remembrance when you posted this.
Back in the early 90's Jack Pardee was our HC, he was only a head coach, in fact he did not even wear a head set on gamedays. When asked about it, he said that he had assistant that ran the offense, defense and special teams.
He was the ultimate delegator, and the fans went ballistic, most likely due to us not being in the Super Bowl. Bud hired a new DC after the season, Buddy Ryan, who went on to attempt to hit the OC Kevin Gilbride while on the sideline during a game. Ultimate dysfunction, a Bud owned team trait.
Long story cut short to make this point, the fans here will not be happy until a Houston based team wins the Super Bowl. Anything else is just not going to be good enough.
The Astros got close, but not many remember that now, and how long ago has it been since the Rockets won?
