All I know is he won 5 Rings and we have won 0 rings.  

 

He has six rings, right? Unless I am missing something.

[oldmanfan]

My order:

 

1.  Lombardi

2.  Paul Brown

3.  Belicheat

 4.  Walsh

5.  Parcells

 

[First Round Bust]

on my top list I would include Halas, Lambeau in the top 10

 

next level off the top of my head - not in order

 

Andy Reid - regular season winning since 1999  - 5th best win % in histiry- coaching tree -1 super bowl win

Tom Flores - 2 super bowl wins - 12 season but only 97-87 so at the bottom of the top

Mike Shanahan - 2 super bowl wins, coaching tree

Jimmy Johnson - 2 super bowls - 80-64 record

Mike Tomlin - 1 super bowl win, 13 non-loosing seasons - 133-74 record

George Seifert - 2 super bowl wins - 98-30 in SF

John Harbaugh - 148-96 (. 607) - 1 loosing season in 13 years - 1 super bowl win

Pete Carroll - 152–104–1 (.593) - 1 super bowl win

Paul Holmgren - 1 super bowl win, coaching tree, 

Tom Coughlin - 2 super bowl win over Brady and coach

Dungy and Bill Cowher - 1 super bowl - 66 and 62 percent win percent

Sean Payton 1 super bowl, 63 win percent, next coach of the Cowboys ?

 

zero super bowls:

Marty Schot, Dan Reeves, Marv Levy as well

interesting that George Allen has a winning percent of 72% - no super bowls  - the future is now - Over the Hiil gang

Yes.  1 less than Brady.  Just a typo. I am very aware of how many rings they both have.

Belicheat cheated and w/o Brady has a losing record 

 

 

 

Most coaches without their star quarterback have a losing record lol

 

He was the last coach to make the Browns relevant

 

He literally took the Patriots to the playoffs last year with a rag arm quarterback and an overrated defense 

 

he’s the best coach of this generation

Actually Belichick has 8 SB rings, one more than everyone's suddenly beloved Tommy.

the Browns were so relevant that they left town 

Bledsoe a rag arm QB? 
 

—— 

4 straight Super Bowl appearances 

 

how many coaches achieved that

Where do you get Drew Bledsoe out of this?

 

Last year he coached a Average at best team to the playoffs… A rag arm quarterback in Mac Jones and a super overrated defense… He coached that to the playoffs

 

He won 11 games with Matt Cassel as his starter … Coached the Browns to the playoffs

 

Not to mention the tandem with him and Brady… Which started with shutting down the greatest show on turf

 

He’s a defensive mastermind

I don't have strong opinions about this stuff, and have no idea how you would rate these guys.

 

Having said that, in my lifetime the best I have seen is Belichick, and before him it was Parcells.

 

So in the era I am familiar with, those are 1 and 2.

 

I remember Landry and guys like that but I was young.

 

 

I'd say Parcells.  Like you said it is hard to judge, but Parcells didn't have a super QB. He did have a great, MVP level D-player though.

Shula would be up there. Andy Reid. I don't know,I try to look at who was really good without a domiant QB.

[vincec]

I would add Dick Vermeil and Weeb Ewbank to the consideration for that 10th spot.

Belicheat went to the Pats when Drew was QB. 

 

The team was already playoff caliber when he got there 

 

Then there was the Tuck game that f’d the Raiders 

 

then it was PATRIOTIC to root for them after 9-11.  
 

Then there was Spygate 

 

do I need to keep listing them?

There has never been an elite head coach who didn't have an elite QB.

 

The only one close might be Parcells.

 

You take the starting QBs away from the "best ever," coaches and they're very likely JAGs.

 

You don't win 6 super bowls if you're not a great coach.

I think that's fair But at the same time it's hard to ignore his record without Tom.

 

Tom Brady covered up a lot of his mistakes/poor draft selections.

 

Even in that 2012 year when they lost in the SB to the giants, they got to the SB with having the last ranked defence.

 

BB supposed to be a defensive coach but Tom Brady somehow carried that team to a SB appearance.

That couldn’t stop Josh Allen last season barring 60 mile per hour winds 

 

He was so amazed he personally walked into the Bills locker room and had a chat with Josh. 
 

 

What is Tua’s record against BB?

I can’t really comment on coaches before my time. For me it’s Bill Walsh (innovation) and Parcels (got it done without the best QB’s). 
 

Based on accomplishments Belichek has to be in the convo, but I wouldn’t take him over a prime Walsh or Parcels.

the cheating helped 

The constant bending and breaking of the rules helped him too 

 

the Refs turning a blind eye also helped them. 

 

if you have to cheat to win. Are you really that good?

 

[Son of a K-Gun]

Most Super Bowl wins as head coach;

 

6 - Belicheat (Tom Brady x 6)

4 - Chuck Noll (Terry Bradshaw x 4)

3 - Bill Walsh (Joe Montana x 3)

     Joe Gibbs (Doug Williams, Joe Theismann, Mark Rypien)

 

One of these coaches took a slightly different approach from the rest…

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

you need great QB’s to win ? 
 

Explain how you Win with nobodies like Jeff Hosteler and Flacco and Dilfer
