Rank the NFL coaches 1-32

Parcells is good, maybe not great. he didn't improve those teams?
no it wasn't a different era, not many guys coach over 20 years. but it
was different QBs different RB and WRs

 

Lovie Smith has to go straight to 31 (Cable is in a category of his own) for hiring (or allowing to be hired) the certifiable cement-head Rod Marinelli (0-16) as DC, and the back-stabbing, undermining, egomaniacal primadonna Mike Martz as OC.

The entire Bears offseason will consist of those two idiots attempting to pack the roster full of sub-mediocre waiver-wire-level castoffs whose only virtue is they "know the [coach's] system." Systems in both cases which have become completely outmoded and outdated.

By October, Martz will be scapegoating the defense for all the team's problems (never mind the 5 turnovers and 8 sacks per game barfed up by his QBs) and working his pals in the media to push the angle "the locker room has given up on Lovie," and guess who is available to take over at any time??

 

Jeff Fisher is not a better HC than Tom Coughlin.

 

I disagree with that times 1,000

 

Based upon what facts?


Coughlin has one SB win, more division titles, more winning seasons and basically the same winning percentage. He also took an expansion team to two conference championship games (one a loss to Fisher) within the first five years of existence.

Explain the allure of Jeff Fisher and six winning seasons in 16 years?

 

Chuck Knox rebuilt three teams and won division titles with all of them, went to conference championship games with two of them. Two turned back into shit when he left. When he got to Buffalo the scouting system was literally run out of a shoe box.

 

Coaches in the NFL have a lot, lot more impact than those in other sports. NFL playbooks are ridiculous. The talent level between good teams is pretty close. To downplay coaches' impact because none have won titles decades apart with different quarterbacks is ridiculous. It's not college, where you go out and recruit. The goal is to get a franchise QB, a few linemen that you expect to have at least 5 seasons and build around him.

 

also Vermeil. Brought the Eagles to the Super Bowl and it was a long, time before they got back. then years later takes the Rams to their only championship.

 

Phillips at 19 is asinine. He has the best winning percentage of any Cowboys coach, won 2 NFC East titles, won a playoff game this year, and was pretty good at his other stops too, IIRC.

 

i'm pretty sure Phillips playoff winning percentage was .000 before they beat Phila.
i agree he should be higher, but i'd say he's a pretty good-good coach. that winning percentage with Dallas is a little deceptive (need more seasons to judge), it's not the Texans. they've had some other pretty good coaches there with a few titles.

 

I'm not saying it should be really high, but definitely not as low as 19.
