Must be pretty weird for him. He's like Michael Jordan as a basketball executive. Phenomenal player but a lot of bad decisions as an executive.
This is actually pretty normal. There have been many great players, Hall of Famers, who made lousy executives/coaches. Jordan, Bill Russell, Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Magic Johnson, etc were phenomenal players but bad coaches or execs. There aren't many hall of fame players who parlayed their on field success into management or coaching success. Even Ditka showed that the Bears would have been nothing without Buddy Ryan. No coincidence that they only won 2 more playoff games during the rest of his time in Chicago and we all know the train wreck he was in NO.
