Top 5 coaches now

I have very little love for Reid I think he has been able to shine as the best of the dammed.

Since Reid's inception as the Eagles HC the NFC has not had one single team that is dominant unlike the AFC with the Patriots Chargers and Colts who are always competitive the NFC has been a bubbling pot of mediocre teams where the scum rises to the top and it can be any team that gets there.

When you look back to the 80s you have Gibbs ducking it out with Parcells and Landry in the NFCE Bill Walsh's 49ers, Ditkas Bears... you think in 20 years time people are really look back and talk about the nearly men of the NFL and lament about Rieds Eagles? It will all be about the AFC and the Patriots and Dungys Colts .

To compare Gibbs to Payton ...well out there .... Payton may be the next HoF coach in waiting but he like smith managed to catch the lightning in the bottle in 2006 and that carried the saints far but not far enough. It will be interesting to see how things pan out
