Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL

The coaches who can win without a good QB, is a good head coach. That's why I would put Rex in there with how bad Sanchez is. But the flip side to that is he was a part of the reason they picked Sanchez.

1. Bill Belichick

2. Jeff Fisher

3. Jim Harbaugh

4. Mike McCarthy

5. Tom Coughlin

6. John Fox

7. Mike Shanahan

8. John Harbaugh

9. Andy Reid

10. Sean Payton

I would have considered Rex Ryan a good coach until these past two years. Him and Tannenbaum ruined a good, talented team. I think a fresh start where a GM has total control over player personell would be good for him. A place where Rex Ryan might end up being a good coach is Detroit. But right now he is mediocre at best, and has become a clown.

He was a clown from the start. It only became obvious these last couple seasons.

A lot of players bought into his scheme. Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson both said they went to the Jets because of Rex (mind you this is the same LT and JT that called Sanchez bad and Santonio Holmes a locker room problem; they know what they're talking about). He can coach, the problem is he doesn't have a QB. Rex knows he made a mistake with drafting Sanchez and that he's tied to Sanchez until a new QB proves to be better. I guarantee you that if Rex had a QB we'd be talking about how he is a definite top 5 coach.

Well, coaches usually only get one chance with a quarterback, so he decided to roll with Sanchez and it should and probably will cost him his job at the end of this year. He did treat Sanchez like a princess which caused huge locker room problems. He would not be a top 5 coach (maybe a top 5 coach that has not won a superbowl but not a top 5 overall coach), but he would be more highly respected than he is now. Players bought into his system the first couple of years, but after that everyone was reporting how the Jets had the worst locker room in the NFL, which is Ryan's responsibility. People also forget that he took over a team that had a winning record the year before. It wasn't like he took over a team that had 5 consecutive losing seasons.

He is definitely more bark than bite but he will get his chance somewhere else, which I hope will be the Cowboys because it just fits, just because they are both on TV a lot but produce mediocre results. But he is definitely a second/third tier coach, Andy Reid and Lovie Smith made the playoffs the last year Ryan took a team to the playoffs and they were both fired. He isn't in the same class as Coughlin, Belichick, McCarthy, Payton, Tomlin or the Haurbaugh brothers.

In the end Ryan knows how to coach a defense but has not shown the ability to coach a team. Maybe a new team would be all he would need to prove that wrong.

Hi..
Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL Redskins "Mike Shanahan"..

What do yall think?

Give me your top 5 now and then give me someone new who we will be talking about years from now.


Currently:

1. Bill Belichick
2. Jim Harbaugh
3. Mike Tomlin
4. Tom Coughlin
5. Sean Payton

Underrated: Marvin Lewis

Next great new head: Greg Shiano

Who you got?

Tomlin seems to have developed a habit of not having the Steelers ready to play at crucial times.

I used to think Marvin Lewis was the worst coach at any level of football until Rex Ryan came along.

I'd take Tomlin out of your list, move Coughlin & Payton up one slot and put Shanny in at #5.

Lewis deserves credit for having so little support for so many years in the Bengals organization

Well then add Norv Turner to the list using that criteria of longevity and a bad GM.
