Coach I get what angle you are pushing here but you and I both know Parcell's intent when he so famously said "you are what your record says you are" he was more specifically referring to when you had a bad season not a good season. The intent of the statement was to reflect the opinion of an NFL GM when reviewing a coach's employment status.

If you finish with a losing record but then make 15 different excuses as to why you had a bad season, no one wants to hear it. You are what your record says you are. The true intent of the phrase is not to also explain a winning record.
