John Gianelli Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Who are the opposing coaches you loathe the most, either because of their personality, or how they dominated the Bills? These are my top five. 1. Bill Belichick 2. Don Shula 3. Jimmy Johnson 4. Bill Parcells 5. Bill Cowher Belichick is #1 by a mile, for so many reasons. There is a big drop off between every other one, except Shula and Johnson, whom I could have rated 2.a. and 2.b. If this topic already exists, could someone please refer me to it? Thanks. (If you could include other sports, I would have Tom Heinsohn in there.)
Corp000085 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Belichik and Shula are tied for #1. Although he's recent history, I'd have to put Marrone as #2 though by the way that he quit on the team. Sure, it was well within his rights to take the buyout, but his handling of it was the true test of his character. As for my #1 choices, they're both cheaters; although, at least Shula was THE greatest coach ever. Takeaway Brady, and what does BB have? Parcels' coattails and nothing else!

Livinginthepast Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Bellichick is number 1 of anyone I can remember. Shula to me is mitigated by the fact that I saw the latter half of his career (late 70s to 95) where he had ceased to be dominating. Jimmy Johnson was also obnoxious with the Cowboys, but a joke with the Fins. Edited January 18, 2016 by Livinginthepast

KD in CA Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Belichick is #1 by a mile, for so many reasons. Really? Belichick isn't even in Shula's universe as far as I'm concerned. Jimmy Johnson would be second. I don't really hate Belichick at all. He's probably the best coach of all time, and I completely appreciate how he addresses idiotic questions from the media (last week's "how do you plan to use Chandler Jones" being the latest example.
Coach Tuesday Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Andy Reid Nick Saban Doug Marone Brian Billick Tony Dungy You hate Tony Dungy??
Kirby Jackson Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Belicheck Shula Marrone Jimmy Johnson Jim Harbaugh
K D Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 You hate Tony Dungy?? Yea I thought that too. How could anyone hate Tony Dungy? He's like the nicest guy in the NFL. That's like hating Marv Levy

K D Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Belicheck Shula Marrone Jimmy Johnson Jim Harbaugh This is a good list
KD in CA Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Yea I thought that too. How could anyone hate Tony Dungy? He's like the nicest guy in the NFL. That's like hating Marv Levy Maybe he confused Tony with Herm Edwards. I'll go with: Don Shula . . . . . . Barry Switzer Jimmy Johnson Bill Parcells Herm Edwards
GunnerBill Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Bear in mind I have only watched the NFL since 2002 - here are mine:- 1 - Belichick - a grudging respect I just hate that he is in our division to beat us twice a year. 2 - Chip Kelly - obnoxious man, overrated football coach 3 - Mike Shanahan - overrated coach and difficult personality 4 - Jim Harbaugh - very good football coach but I couldn't be in a room with him for an hour he is an exhausting personality 5 - John Gruden - very high opinion of himself based on a Superbowl win where he beat his offense with someone else's defense. I honestly considered putting Rex #5. Before he was hired as Bills coach he'd have been on this list. Another year like this past season he might reappear. Edited January 18, 2016 by GunnerBill

He just slept over at a HS kid's house on a recruiting visit. Creepy.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I'll take Belichick any time over our genius. Mike Shanahan, as far as overrated goes.
