Once you have hit the pinnacle you are expected to keep doing it. If you don't you're a bum or at least a has been. Once of the things that led to Chris Petersen's stepping down at Washington.

Mike McCarthy with the Packers is a fantastic example here. 

- 2010 SB champs
- 2011-16 went to the playoffs but never made it to the SB again
- 2017 7-9
- 2018 4-7-1 and fired

The last few years of his tenure were riddled with outrage over conservative playcalling, including a real doozy: the 2015 NFC championship game, featuring not one but TWO FGs from the 1 yard line, and calling 3 run plays while down 12 points in the 4th quarter.

Sounds eerily familiar to me.
