Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

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?

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

Not a bad list, I kinda like Mike McCarthy. How Marvin Lewis has a job in this day is beyond me, maybe its because Cincinnati loves to waller in mediocracy. 79-80 in ten years, 0-4 in playoffs.

Why does John Harbaugh always play second fiddle to his brother?

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;1008644]Why does John Harbaugh always play second fiddle to his brother?[/quote]Seconded. Other than Jim being whinier on the sidelines, and ruder at centerfield after a game, what's he got over John? (Both seem like d-bags, Jim on the sideline and John during preseason games, just asking what's the difference)

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

IMO best coaches other than Shanahan:

1. Belichick
2. (John and Jim) Harbaugh
3. Coughlin (the devil's due)
4. Tomlin
5. Reid

Hard for me to put Reid in the top 5 the way he completely f*cked up the eagles the last 2 years.

Belichick
tomlin
coughlin
shanahan
john harbaugh

Finally a Shanahan mention. He's done a great job turning this team around. It was a complete disaster, so of course it can't be fixed in one year but we're now back to powerhouse status. We're going to be one of the better teams in the league for years to come.

I mean the guy has won 2 superbowls and a hell of a lot of games in his career. Not to mention he turned around a complete cluster **** franchise.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

per kerakpo:

1. shanahan after his 5th redskins superbowl win
2. shanahan after his 4th redskins superbowl win
3. shanahan after his 3rd redskins superbowl win
4. shanahan after his 2nd redskins superbowl win
5. shanahan after his 1st redskins superbowl win

winnar!

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

If we were doing a top 10 I'd definitely put Shanahan in there. Depending on what goes down this year maybe he's top 5 next year.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

In no particular order

1. Tom Coughlin
2. John Fox
3. Bill Belichick
4. Mike McCarthy
5. Rex Ryan (c'mon. you know I had to)

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

Currently:

1. Bill Bellichick (although he is the biggest prick in the league)
2. Tom Coughlin
3. John Harbaugh
4. Mike Tomlin
5. Mike McCarthy

Underrated: John Fox

Next great coach:

Yeah he's top 10 for sure.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

1. Belicheat
2. John Harbaugh
3. Jim Harbaugh
4. Sean Payton
5. Shanny - that he could so completely change the culture around here has been a joy to watch!

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

1) Sean Peyton
2) The entire Harbaugh family including the dog and cat.
3) Belichicken -especially when he has the practice tape of all the audible hand signals
4) The Shanahan's
5) Marvin Lewis

I have to say, after watching "A Football Life" I have grown to respect and actually like bellichick. He doesn't seem like a prick to me anymore.

Do you want 'em in a Mt Rushmore......thing?

Yes, a third SB win should earn him top 5.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

no way i'd put marvin in there.

surprised jeff fisher hasn't been mentioned. he did a lot with low cost titans teams.

Yeah I remember before the second half run, alot of folks here were asking why didnt we hire Fish.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

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

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

1- Belicheat
2- Payton
3- Fox
4- Harbaugh (Jim)
5- Fisher

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

[quote=Chico23231;1008652]Hard for me to put Reid in the top 5 the way he completely f*cked up the eagles the last 2 years.[/quote]I don't disagree with you. I just think Belichick is the best for performance over the years (despite not winning a ring since Spygate), and by the same criteria Reid deserves mention even without a ring.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

In no order,

1. Pete Carroll. He has did a hell of job up there.

2. Shanny. How he walked in and demanded total control. His choices in personnel through draft and FA. He cleaned house.

3. Coughlin. Hate to say it.

4. McCarthey.

5. Mike Smith. He has ATL playing ball and thats what you want in your head coach.

UNDERRATED: Norv Turner :pimp:

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

watch a football life on Bill Belichick and you'll like him.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

Currently:

1. Bill Belichick
2. Jim and John Harbaugh
3. Mike Tomlin
4. Mike Shanahan
5. Sean Payton

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

Mike Shanahan is top 3 in my opinion. And Gary Kubiak is underrated.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;1008729]watch a football life on Bill Belichick and you'll like him.[/quote]

Agree , you see it all the time with people that devote their lives to one thing and it consumes them and then usually a different area of their lives suffer.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

1. John Harbaugh
2. Jim Harbaugh
3. Mike McCarthy
4. Mike Shanahan
5. Tom Coughlin

He definitely made me laugh when I saw him as a pirate.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

Mike McCarthy
Bill Belichick
Mike Tomlin
Jim Harbaugh
Mike Smith
Pete Carroll

Tom Coughlin would rank pretty high among coaches who didn't make my list.

I really think Rob Chudzinski can do some great things in Cleveland. I think adding Chip Kelly is going to add to the quality of coaching league wide, because it will force opponents to adapt to a dynamically changing NFL. But if he continues to surround himself with guys like Pat Shurmur, he won't have a long, particularly successful career.

Jason Garrett is a really bad coach, so whenever that list comes, I'm all over that.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

How about a category of best coaches without an elite top 5 QB?

John Harbaugh
Jim Harbaugh
Bruce Arians
Pete Carroll
Mike Shanahan
Leslie Frazier honorable mention
Rookie QB's count since they were an unknown factor before the 2012 season, the job all 5 coaches on this list did was impressive.

That would also mean you have to put Gary kubiac and Marvin Lewis on the list.

Re: Best Head Coaches Currently In The NFL
 

To me the best guys are ones who motivate, game plan and are leaders. Hoody, Coughlin, Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh, Jeff Fischer, Pete Carroll...I would even put Shanahan and Rex Ryan in there as well as Andy Reid. But I think the best guy right now is Jim Harbaugh. He has completely changed the culture of that entire organization. He's also a great play caller and motivator. Not sure Tomlin is much of a x and o guy but seems to be a great leader and motivator. Kubiak seems to be a real good x and o guy and can scheme but doesn't do much for me as a leader of men.

True, meant to put Kubiak but spaced out, Lewis also did a pretty good job.
