The strength and conditioning coach in New England is the only man ever with six or more of those rings earned as either a player and or coach.
I suppose he's the single greatest NFL person of all-time if you want to use championship rings as a measuring stick.
It's a 52 man sport - you have offensive units, defensive units, and several different special team units. One guy can only take a team so far.
The more I think about it - I'd rather have a guy that can improve the strength and conditioning of all 52 guys on my team - than one player who's only on the field about 40% of the time.
I guess Sammy Baugh played QB, DB, and was the punter .. and was great at all 3 ... but where was Sammy Baugh when you needed a field goal? Where was he when you needed a kick return? Where was Sammy Baugh when you needed a stop in a goalline defense situation? He wasn't even one of the best 11 guys you had in those situations?
