Re: Top 5 coaches now
Wow, no mention of Wade Phillips?
j/k
Gruden had a shot at the top 5 before the last couple of years but not now.
I'd go with:
1) Bill Belichek - even though I agree with whoever thought he was a cheater. I can't put my finger on it but I swear he's doing something outside of the rules of the game somehow.
2) Andy Reid - hard to argue with 4 straight NFC championship games plus last year's amazing finish.
3) Herm Edwards - I just think he is a very focused man and knows how to maximize the resources he has onhand.
4) Mike Holmgren - Been coaching for a long time and taking two teams to SuperBowls is a great accomplishment.
5) Joe Gibbs - homer reasons only; but I'd like to add that I really love his commitment to the team and his selfless ability to step down and bring in topnotch coaches. If you're not buying that then just stick Shanahan in there even though I think he cheats (no proof) as well.
