Chef Jim Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I came across this list on twitter: http://on.nfl.com/17lXCZZ Marrone is at 28. Thoughts? You want my thoughts? Sure here goes. Power ranking of coaches that have 0 experience in an actual NFL game is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Even taking out the bone-headedness of including rookies, or anybody that hasn't coached for more than 3 years, the list is still screwed up. How can the two coaches that won more SuperBowls in the last 10 years be behind the Harbaughs (1 SB win) and Belichick (1 SB win). Coughlin and Tomlin should be #1 and #2 just on that. Neither had HOF QBs like Belichick and, likely, Payton. And, sorry Bills fans, both played in tougher divisions than the Pats. The Pats consistenly have the easiest schedule in the because of that. Belichick hasn't won a SB since 2004. My top 5 with guys with more than 5 years at the helm: #1 Mike Tomlin (2 SB wins from a tough division) #2 Tom Coughlin (ditto) #3 John Harbaugh (1 SB and consistently good record in a tough division) #4 John Fox (turned two teams around and even was able to win with Tebow at QB) #5 Mike Smith (5 straight winning seasons that brought the Falcons back from the dead in a tough division) Payton's suspension alone takes him off my list. Well said!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasBillsFan1 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 He hasn't coached a game yet, so it would make sense he would start near the bottom. Doesn't mean much. I would consider him successful if he brings this team to an 8 win season, and I'll bet most power ranking would rank him in the top 15 if he did that. You don't get a big leg up on the rankings until you show something warranting it. Don't worry, the guy has to get a chance to bring his team onto the field and show what he's got. YUP!

billsfan89 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You really can't rank a guy accurately till at least 2 if not 3 years in the league. I know the NFL is a win now league but there has to be a sample size large enough to see how good or bad a coach is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You herd it hear last Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It's June. I try to post any national stories that have anything to do with the Bills. I can only spend so much time talking about who will start at QB week 1. We are so far away from that I was just commenting on the first 4 words of your original post.

Tomlin and Harbaugh don't play in a very tough division. They are the only 2 consistently good teams in it. The Browns blow. Cincy has has had 2 10 win seasons in the last 6 and zero playoff wins. Tomlin has 1 SB win, not 2. Fox went 8-8 with Tebow but couldn't win a playoof game with Manning. Mike Smith Has averaged over 11 wins a year and plays in a division with one other strong team, yet he has gone 1 for 5 in playoffs. Suspension or not, Payton is a top 5 HC. Coughlin goes there too. Belichick's record speaks for itself. No active HC approaches it. Tomlin is a hand clapper and but slapper. Not top 5 material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
