Ranking the 32 Head Coaches in the NFL

pete should be down near tom cable till he proves anything in the nfl not the ncaa

Bill Belicheat shouldn't be that high, A) he was stealing peoples signals for we don't know how many years, and B) once his core group of veteran players started leaving, he started looking like on of the 20's ranked coaches. He started getting cocky, thinking he could win without Vrabel and Seymour and Samuel...wrong and wrong and wrong. Him going for it on 4 & 2 doesn't help his case either. Five years ago, I'd agree with him being ranked number one, but today, I'd rank him in the middle. And for those who question Sean Payton at two, just look at what he did with his first year in New Orleans, taking a 3-13 team, into a 10-6 team, playoff contender, and being a win away from the super bowl that year.

Rex Ryan, Ken Whisenhunt, and John Harbaugh need to be ranked a lot higher than where they are. Andy Reids lost his touch, Coughlin is back to where he was a few years ago, with the fire Coughlin rumors floating around, and Mike Tomlin is only good because his team was already built for him by Cowher. Jeff Fisher, I never understood why people rate him that high as a coach.

Hahaha Wade Phillips is 15. Stupid Santa Clause lookin bastard

I agree with you guys on kubiak.. I think he's a good coach and this should be the year Houston goes to the playoffs. As far as Wade goes, he has done a decent job everywhere he's been but his playoff record isn't any good.

I'd move Fisher ahead of Payton, based on his body of work.

I'd also rate Tomlin, Reid, and Coughlin ahead of Mike Shanahan, at least until Mike gets this season under his belt. Then we can see how he stacks up now.

I have no idea how anyone could think that Rex Ryan is the 10th best HC in the NFL. New York media bias, perhaps?

Pete Carroll ahead of Gary Kubiak? That's ridiculous to me. Carroll has done nothing of note in the NFL.

I'm not sure that it's even fair to rank Schwartz, Morris, and Spagnuolo yet because they haven't had enough talent to compete.

Chan Gailey is a poor HC, IMO. Last place, for sure.

Where do you think Jim Zorn would rank on this list?

[/B]

What does his addiction have to to with him being a warrior? Pain killers dont make the man. Im not that big of a Favre fan but you cant question 20 years of not missing a game due to injury he plays football not baseball.


Pain killers take away the pain allowing him to play therefore he never missed a game.

^ mike shanahan has only been out of football for 1 season lol... It's not like Joe Gibbs or anything. He's avg. 10 wins a season for his career, and 2 super bowls. He's top 5 for sure

Love him or hate him, Ryan did manage to get his team with a rookie quarterback to the AFC Championship game in his first year. People hate him because he's boisterous and a trash-talker. So what. He's a good coach with a good football mind, and he gets his team to perform.

I like Rex but he might be a tad overrated on this list. He got it done for one year, let's see how he does over the course of a 3-5 year stretch before he hits the top 10.

Pete Carroll has won a division title and a playoff game as an NFL head coach. Kubiak still hasn't done that.

I think Kubiak is a solid head coach, but it's become put up or shut up time for him
