1. Bill Bellicheck (for 3 obvious reasons)
2. Andy Reid (his team has been dominating this league since I can remember)
3. Sean Payton/Eric Mangini (I know they only have one year under their belts, but they turned the second and 3rd worst teams into playoff teams)
4. Tony Dungy (Manning isnt the only reason why their team has been so dominant)
5. Mike Shanahan (the Broncos have been a force in the NFL since he has been with them)
5.5 Joe Gibbs (Im a redskins fan and therefore obligated to put him on this list, all time accomplishments he would be higher though, but he hasnt proven himself in this 2nd stint)

I think Belichick (The Hoody) is a cheat, but he's still a pretty good coach. Reid is pretty good, and he'd be even better if he had a QB with some guts. Payton and Mangini, please! After only one season? Dungy, great coach even better person. Shanahan has proven himself in the past, but not much lately. Overall, a pretty fair assessment. I'd have to go with:

1. Tony Dungy
2. Joe Gibbs
3. The Hoody
4. Mike Shanahan
5. Mike Holmgren

All my choices have gotten their teams to the big stage and won at least one Super Bowl.
