No matter how much you’ve won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you’re not winning now, so you stink.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that even if you have been very successful in the past, like winning lots of games or championships, if you are not winning right now, then you are not doing well. The coach is saying that your past accomplishments do not matter if you are not performing well at the present time. You need to focus on winning in the moment, not just relying on your past success.
