This list loves past accomplishments regardless of the coaches’ role. Is anyone impressed by Mike McCarthy?!? Expand I don't know how McCarthy survived his first two years in G.B.. Possibly because of Ted Thompso'ns expertise in drafting . Thompson isn't there anymore , and it shows.The success of Aaron Rodgers is probably how he survived. Edited June 21, 2018 by Wily Dog sp
Mr. WEO Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 On 6/21/2018 at 6:56 PM, 26CornerBlitz said: Seven playoff appearances is a pretty good track record despite the futility of not advancing. Again, look at the Bengals before he arrived as the HC. Expand I bet no one in Cincy agrees with that. Who else gets that many chances to fail at getting a talented team over the hump? It really doesn't matter what happened before Lewis anyway. He's long past the point he can be compared to the others before him.

Expand Maybe. But there were too many other chances. He's bottom 10 for sure.

BillsfaninSB Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Just like the other thread where an article ****cans the 2018 Bills, this is fine with me. Keep underestimating this team.

I'd move him down below his brother Jay, who IMO, is keeping the Redskins somewhat respectable. I also don't think Marvin Lewis should be ranked as high as he is. This is a coach who perennially underachieves and cannot win a playoff game. Expand ......using Tony Dungy’s team and knowing the opponent’s playbook inside out. I’m not a Gruden fan. At ALL. I’d be disappointed if he coached my team. Let him prove himself in today’s NFL.
MJS Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Bills fans shouldn't complain about this ranking. It's not realistic to have a 1 year HC ranked very highly unless the team makes a deep playoff run or something. I do agree that Gruden should be lower, but his past accolades are propping him up.

Augie Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 It’s funny how the best coaches often have the best QB’s. What a coincidence!!!

Expand Well, if we're going to give credit to Dungy for TB's Super Bowl appearance, we should probably be consistent and give Gruden credit for the Raiders making the very same Super Bowl since he coached them the previous season

Walking Tall Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 He should be top 12. To say anything different until further on field results happen is idiotic.

Dadonkadonk Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Only two issues with McD the coach is the fact he let Tolbert play and starting Peterman on the road in the playoff hunt.

frostbitmic Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Only 12 teams made the playoffs last year ... McDermott was the coach of one of those 12 and he brought a team that hadn't made the playoffs since God was a little fella to the post season... 18th seems a bit low IMO. Of course he can drop after this season but as of now, nope.
