Ranking the 32 Head Coaches in the NFL

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.

I don't know that 9-7 is getting it done, even if it is in the AFC-E

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

I think you might be overestimating pain killers. Do they work? Absolutely, however the fact of the matter is they can only do so much. On top of that you can only take a certain amount as to properly balance pain relief and mental/physical acuity. Pain killers in the amount that would totally kill pain would cause you to fail a field sobriety test.

They got to the AFC Championship, I'd call that getting it done

I would swap Shanny and Fisher.
Plus, Reid is WAY too high.

I wonder how much of the Texans success was Kubiak's doing, or Kyle Shanahan's offensive gameplan?

We'll find out, but they're stacked on D also, except for the secondary.

I expect a little decline from Schaub's monster 2009 season, but not a lot.

If you were ranking all the coaches from 1-32,guess who would be #1 in opening day wins?

Yep! You guessed it!
Mike Shanahan is 12-4 in week 1 games his career.

I have no argument with the coaches in the Top Seven here. I could debate for a long time about which coach should be higher or lower, but the Top Seven here is a pretty good list.

The next three coaches, Wisenhunt, Harbaugh and Ryan have thin resumes. Maybe they belong that high on the list and maybe not. Time will tell.

Regarding the rest of the list:

Wade Phillips is too high at 15; I'd have him between 20 and 22.

Lovie Smith is WAAY too high at 20; I'd have him closer to 30.

The coaches listed 28 - 32 are coaches of teams that stink. That is not necessarily a reflection of them as coaches; it might be more a problem with the GM or the owner - - or in the case of the Raiders, both.

Gary Kubiak and Mike Singletary are too far down on the list.
