Adam Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 George W. Bush- Barry Switzer, only without the wins Bill Clinton- George Seiffert. Better than many think, but gets credit for things he didn't deserve to George HW Bush- Bobby Ross....No nonsense type Jimmy Carter- Rich Kotite.....no explanation needed Richard Nixon- Bill Parcells...Brilliant, but a cheater Abraham Lincoln- Bear Bryant. Again, no explanation needed. Possibly the best we've ever had. George Washington- George Halas....all time great Hope this doesn't turn into a mudslinging contest.....its supposed to be a break from that

Neither had a winning record. Both made bad decisions.
outsidethebox Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Obama- Jim Mora....Deficit? did you say deficit?
Chef Jim Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 William McKinley = Dick Juron - Both killed in Buffalo.
/dev/null Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Marv Levy = Dwight Eisenhower Both were in charge of Americans in a foreign land then came back to the US and had pretty successful careers
erynthered Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Marv Levy = Dwight Eisenhower Both were in charge of Americans in a foreign land then came back to the US and had pretty successful careers DE won the big one, Marv didnt. Fail
Kevin Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 George Washington------Vince Lombardi both revolutionized their fields. Abe Lincoln----------Tom Landry. IMO, both had a mysterious aura about them. They didn't have huge egos. Teddy Roosevelt-------Rex Ryan. Big, brash egos, and very daring. Not afraid to take a chance. Ronald Reagan------(here me out on this) John Madden. In their fields both are revered. Both had their issues, but both knew what they were doing, and did it well. They didn't do the popular thing, and even when things went bad they stood behind their decisions.

Way to ruin a good thread.

Fail On the contrary. DE won the big one during his foreign land days, not as president. As president he got us to a couple of big games that didn't end well (see beginnings of Vietnam, ME, and Iranian interventions). Marv Levy won two Grey Cups during his foreign land days. He also came back to lead us to some big games that didn't end well.
finknottle Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Obama = Gregg Williams. Both came in selling radical change, with a promise to shake up the organization. Both sold the idea that they were smarter than everyone else. Both had supreme confidence in themselves and their unique approaches to the job. (Don't want to go further in than this, lest it turn partisan.)
Magox Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Jimmy Carter = David Shula. Ok, I'll play, since I know that you are dying for someone to ask you "Why Jimmy Carter = David Shula"?
DC Tom Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Ok, I'll play, since I know that you are dying for someone to ask you "Why Jimmy Carter = David Shula"? Uh...because they never should have been in the positions they were in?
finknottle Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Uh...because they never should have been in the positions they were in? Eh - too obvious. Maybe Bush (the younger) and Shula (the younger) would be a better fit.
DC Tom Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Eh - too obvious. Maybe Bush (the younger) and Shula (the younger) would be a better fit. Nah. Bush Jr is more like Dick Jauron, in that it makes no sense that either of them hung around as long as they did.
finknottle Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Nah. Bush Jr is more like Dick Jauron, in that it makes no sense that either of them hung around as long as they did. If I actually believed the anti-Bush rhetoric, I'd say that was an excellent comparison: both stubbornly sticking to their conservative strategies long after it was time to try something else.
