Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

I guess it should be noted that this is not based just on last season.

Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

fair list imo

Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

Hey we didn't get shafted this time on an ESPN Top 10 list. Wait, Shanahan just posted something on his twitter.


@MikeShanahan BTW I seen some list rankin the top 10 coach that only ranked me 10th. F*** THEM im gonnadestroy the league next season HTTR

Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

Let's hope that Shanny ranks higher at this time next year.

A little high for Mike Smith whose teams haven't done dick in the playoffs. Same for Harbaugh. I like Lovie and Rex also but don't rings count for anything? Also Coughlin is a bit high for my taste. He gets average results from above average talent. With a better coach the Giants would be at the Patriots level over the past 8 yrs IMO.

Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

I was ready to be pissed if i saw Jim Caldwell on the list....

I think Andy Reid is a little high and would put Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton above him. Overall hard list to argue with and definitely agree with number 1 and 2. Also Mike is the only one who only got an initial for his first name.

3 straight winning seasons, 2 of which had more then 10 wins, in a tough division, with a young team, deserves a high ranking. This is a franchise that never had back to back winning seasons in it's history.

Re: Top 10 NFL head coaches
 

Shanahan should be higher than Lovie Smith.

I didn't call him Rich Kotite but I still think it's a bit high. The franchises history has no bearing on him as a head coach, does it?

What about taking a team that was in total disarray at 4-12 giving up over 50 sacks to a team that went 11-5 with a rookie QB and the same O-Line? Certainly that has to count for something.

Anyway the team is young and he has been able to work wonders with them. I'd say he's right where he needs to be on that list.
