Marty shouldn't be up there; he's got a really crappy team (except for LT).

Wannstedt is one of the winningest coaches in the league.

Parcells? Excuse me? As much as I hate the Cowboys, Parcells is one of the best coaches.

Jon Gruden? Umm didn't he take the Bucs to the Big One and win it? Didn't the Bucs trade for him for two first rounders?

My candidates: Butch Davis and Jim Haslett

again, this prolly isnt about who wins as much as who they like winning for.

Yeah didnt you notice the guys on the hated coaches list are all hard assess, and the guys on the best are soft, dont pay any attention to this. Although ironically I dont think shotty and coughlin can be good coaches anymore, because the players cant deal with it anymore. At one point, I thought Shotty was one of the best coaches of all time. Now players cant handle any form of discipline. Look how we started 0-5, then won 8 out of 11, if we werent such primadonnas that season, we would have made the playoffs, but im done ranting for now...

HATED is the correct word here. This wasn't a worse coach poll as it was a more HATED coach poll. Think about it. They'd vote for worse coach as one they hated to play for.
