he was a bit of a clown, but to me he wasn't a bad coach. he fielded some really good teams both in atlanta and w/ the oilers.

guys like glanville and buddy ryan helped make the NFL a truly great league back in those days. you needed guys like them ( and also gibbs and walsh types) to help create true rivals. now it's all about clean cut mcvay look a likes. it's not the same and never will be.

Detroit Lions would like to challenge this point. You see their new guy's press conference?

I don’t think Glanville or Ryan are anywhere near the same caliber as Gibbs. Want to mention Walsh, Knoll, Parcells, or even Landry in the same sentence - fine. But Glanville and Ryan? No way.

I know you're going to slap your forehead and say "Doh!" when I mention this coach who was a winner, a very like-able man, and an unforgettable character: Bum Phillips.

You're right about the characters who coached in the NFL "back in the day." I'll name some more: Mike Ditka, Dennis "We knew who they were!" Green, Jim "Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!" Mora, and our own George Allen, the originator of the storied Dallas/Washington rivalry.
