But when you win more games than most other teams and make the playoffs more than most other teams it is not an "epic: fail.
I think the first sentence would have sufficed.
The NFL is a results driven league in which postseason success, and ultimately a World Championship, are the goal. Brown and Lewis have failed on both accounts, and to a rather alarming degree.
That is not to say that coach Lewis is a failure as a head coach in the NFL. He has had some very nice regular seasons. He has qualified for the tournament seven times. In that regard, he has enjoyed a certain level of success that should be applauded. However, when applying the objective into the equation -- postseason validation by way of victories -- he indeed failed on an epic level. This can, and should, taint his overall accomplishments and reduce his stature among NFL head coaches to that of an enigma of mediocrity.
