He had a defense that I would take over any in the history of the game when factoring in modernity, and a HoF QB. He had both. The Patriots & Steelers both had these, and they got a cabinet full of Superbowls to show for it.
The 90's Cowboys who the L.O.B. Seahawks are most similar to got 3 Superbowls out of it with that stacked deck.

Apples and oranges.
There's a reason the Cowboy dynasty faded after the salary cap was implemented in the mid 90's, they could no longer just pay all their stars with max contracts..........and hey, lets just go sign Deion Sanders too.
Same with the Niners dynasty before them.
So the only thing Pete squandered was hanging onto our fading stars too long and not rebuilding the defense sooner with the next wave of young hungry players.
Squandered? Nope, it's just the state of the league, it's VERY hard to stay on top and win SB's. That's why since the cap was implemented only Belichick and the Patriots have figured out how to win more than a couple SB's, and they're an outlier that probably will never happen again. Because that's the way the NFL wants it, they want parity.
L.O.B. Seahawks had 4 straight years of #1 DVOA finishes which had never been done. The only team to come close to that level of success is the 90's Cowboys. 3 of 4 years of #1 DVOA.
The Seahawks just don't have the hardware to show off their dominance.
Yep, probably should have won that 2015 SB...............against the greatest dynasty in the history of the league with the smartest coach, with the entire LOB injured, Lane and Avril out of the game and Simon getting abused like a red headed stepchild the entire 2nd half by the greatest QB of all time. Yet still we almost won.
But yeah, Pete's a bad coach? Perspective dude.
