There is no such thing as greatest of all time at anything except maybe Michael Jordan.

First off, I agree with Defensewins with the first statement; the Patriots have the best team ever, not coach. However I would have to object with your second. Consider Roger Federer in tennis, Gretzky in Hockey, Tiger in golf. Personally I think the greatest coach of all time would be Lombardi.

I did say maybe.
I think using words like greatest ever is more opinion than fact.... most of the time. Granted guys like Tiger and Michael Jordan are the exception.
However, I have a hard time saying Lombardi or any NFL coach is the greatest of all time.
The rules of the game and the game itself (schemes & strategy) have changed so drastically over the years. Look at what a difficult time Gibbs had when he came back after just 12 years away from the game. Could you imagine if Lombardi tried to coach a game this next Sunday?

Lombardi is ONE of the greatest of all time. But I think that he died of cancer and the SB trophy is named after him makes him a sentimental favorite. The NFL back in 1954-1967 was not the same game as we have now, salary cap, rules, defenses schemes.

Tiger is the best golfer playing right now and I agree could become the best to ever play the game. Jack N. still holds the title until Tiger knocks him off which he will probably do in the next ten year or maybe less.
