It's easily Belichick. Shanahan is definitely top 10 though.

joe gibbs because of what he DID. he's the best coach out there because of his PAST, but it remains to be seen if he can compete NOW.

as for right now, its close. shanahan and belicheck are at the top.

Maybe I am missing something or am as blind as a bat.... How in the world can anyone think that Shanny is the best coach in the NFL? I am a Bronco diehard but I am also a realist. Bill Belichick has won 2 out of the last 3 super bowls and has continued to make his team stronger and stronger not only thru the draft but also with free agency. He gets his players to play as a TEAM and just win games.... And he has done it the last 3 years without a running game to speak about.

Being a homer is fine, but atleast be honest to yourself.... Shanny is not the best by a long shot, just look at the past 5 seasons and rethink your answer.

So basically the best Coach is the one who wins the last Super Bowl?

Cause everyone sure jumped off Gruden's jock onto Belichicks.

Since SBs are the basis of your judgement on who the best is, Shanny won BACK TO BACK Superbowls.

2 out of 3 aint bad but it also aint back to back.

My List:


1. Joe Gibbs - I thinkJoe is the best of all time. He is my ideal football coach, and his phiosophy is largely what my personal football philosophy is based on.


2. Bill Bilicheck - His second Superbowl win was just as impressive as his first, if not moreso. I'd love to put Shanahan in this spot, but Bill's accomplishments are more recent and thus justifying the spot. I'd still personally take Shanahan over Bill, but homerism could be charged for it.


3. Mike Shanahan - He may not be the best GM there is in the game, but his X's and O's can't be denied. He can take any team and make them competitive based on his gameplanning.


4. Dick Vermiel - Anyone who can make <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12797" target="_blank">Kurt Warner</a> and <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1599" target="_blank">Trent Green</a> look like All-pros has to be considered. His use of offensive is lethal, and his ability to bring a team together is at the top.

5. Andy Reid - The guy just knows how to motivate his team to win. Needs to figure out how to get over the hump. Having two of the games biggest passing game stars isn't a bad thing for that venture.

You know the great-assistant-but-not-head coach-material tag that gets applied to a lot of coaches? Nobody had that label branded on them like Bill Belichick did after he washed out in Cleveland. That's why it took him five years to catch on with another team. Players, media and fans alike all agreed that he was unprepared to handle the responsibilities of the top job and the pressure made him surly as hell. When he wasn't isolating himself in the film room, he was usually biting someone's head off for asking him a question.

Shanahan started out in much the same way. Mike was one uptight little dude when he reported to Los Angeles and the Raider veterans despised him from day one. The situation was complicated further when Al Davis immediately began undermining his authority within the organization, even hiring back assistant coaches that Shanahan released.

Bottom line is that its not uncommon for a great coach to get off to a rocky start. I think Joe Gibbs started his rookie season as a head coach 0-5 and people in Washington were already counting the days until Jack Kent Cooke axed him. He righted the ship and finished 8-8 and the rest is history. I also believe Gibbs was the best coach ever, but I want to see how he adapts to today's NFL before I give him the top grade among current coaches.

A couple years ago there was a poll of coaches on who was the best NFL head coach. You know, they asked the guys who have to game-plan against other NFL coaches who was the hardest to play against. Shanahan was the overwhelming favorite, picked by the guys who are best-equipped to make that judgement.

Now, that was a couple of years ago, and maybe things have changed since then. I can easily see that Belichik's stock has probably risen quite a bit. But I'm still going with Shanahan.

I am sure it was real hard to pick shanny back then with Elway and TD on your team. Ask the coaches coaching now and the answer wil not be shannahan by any of them. Mikes success level has fallen dramatically the past 5 years since the departure of Elway and no one can argue that fact. How can you call Shanny the best coach in the league TODAY when he has not won the division in 5 years or a playoff game in the same time period?

Saying Shannahan is the best in the game today is like saying Terrell Davis is also the best running back PLAYING THIS SEASON! What you did yesterday (5years ago) does not make you the best today....Unless you are myopic shanny homer, In that case Chief fan is right about you.

yah I dont see how shanny should be getting any real votes. parcells/bellichek are the top right now. I think under them tho is a bunch of ppl, like a big tier.

but if u look at it u can't deny that shanny's brilliance has bottomed out since elway. where's the playoff victories? where's the division titles? I mean if ur the BEST COACH in the game today and u have a team that is annually considered quite talented and u can't muster some of this stuff. not to mention shanny is the GM and while that might be separate from coaching he could hold a parade on the ppl gone through denver that have underachieved or flat out busted.

I went with Shanny , Ithink Shanny needs help in the GM department , but anyone that doesnt see the X's and O's shanny puts out , well they just dont get it ......
When it comes to Coaching , Shanny still the best ....... When it comes to being a GM.Well thats another story , but the Poll didnt ask about GM ...........

Parcells.

Has turned around and taken 4 bad teams to the playoffs in his coaching career.


The problem I have with Parcells is that he seems to walk into situation where the team is on the rise. He does not ever stay somewhere long enough to have to deal with keeping them on top or Salary cap implications. He is a great short term Coach but I have yet to see him stay in it for the longhaul.

he has never taken over a team on the rise. infact besides last year I think his first year w/ a team they avgd like 4 victories. weren't the jets like 2-14?

I don't think that any of the teams would've been considered on the rise, although I agree that he has walked out too early on teams.

Before last year, I wouldn't have considered the Cowboys a team on the rise, in fact, they looked to be in shambles for the next couple years. Parcells comes in, and this team goes to the playoffs.

It took him 2 years at most to turn any team he's coached from a cellar dwelling team into a playoff team, and he's proved it with 4 different teams.

I am not saying he is not a great coach, but not the best due to his departure. It is a very hard thing to do keeping a team at the tops do to FA. Players play well , want more money, and you need to keep a fresh supply of talent in there.

He just has not shown me he can do this. He is a great gameday coach and definatly top 5.

i think parcells is an excellent coach, but what bothers me about him is that he's like the pat riley of football.

he see's that a program is declining, and he jumps ship to another one ready to move ahead.

feel free to disagree, and keep in mind i STILL admire what he's done wherever he's gone.
i just think that being "the best" means you'd find a way to stick it out at the declining program and turn it again into a winner.

Main point I want to make is this...the 3 teams he's coached over these past 10 years...not including the Giants, he turned into winning franchises, not necessarily made them Super Bowl Champs (only the Pats reached the AFC Championship) but, the Jets and Cowboys as well...those 3 teams were lost causes before he got there, losing programs if you will...teams that were under .500 or just above...and he's turned them into winning franchises, with over a .500 winning percentage and has shown he can do it with 3 different teams...here are the examples...

Parcell's 1st year with the Giants ('83) he was 3-12...the following year, he went to 9-7, the year after that he went 10-6...the year after that (his 4th year) they were 14-2...

His 1st year with the Pats('93)...5-11...the year after 10-6...the year after that, 6-10...the year after that he made another apperance in the Super Bowl with a 11-5 record...yeah they were a wildcard team but, they still made it...

with the Jets...his 1st year('97) he was 9-7...the following year, 12-4...then after that 8-8 and he bounced...

Finally the Cowboys('03)...his 1st year there, he coached them into the playoffs with <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/235201" target="_blank">Quincy Carter</a>...Yeah, their defense was stellar but, <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/235201" target="_blank">Quincy Carter</a>?

Giants in 1982 were 4-5

Pats in 1992 were 2-14

Jets in 1996 were 1-15

Cowboys in 2002 were 5-11...

All declining programs wouldnt you say?


A total of 4 franchises, he's lifted up...i'd say thats a damn fine coach...its proven he can make his team a winner...thats what you want your coach to do...WIN...

The interesting thing about Parcells is he's never had a better than 500 season when Belichick hasn't been on the sidelines with him - is that close to where Dallas finished last year? Can't remember and I'm too lazy to go look it up. I know they got close to the playoffs.

I don't know how good the Tuna is but is he brilliant when it comes to having a good posse around him.

As far as the other guys not mentioned here I would always throw some respect towards Don Schula.

Gibbs has his work cut out for him this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns the skins around fast. Parcells looked like a genius last season, but we'll see if he can win with Testaverde.

Greatest of all time arguments are always very subjective and there can alway be several people worthy of argument but how and the hell does Parcells not even make your top 5? Especially over Andy Reid? Don't get me wrong I think Reid is a hell of a coach especially to be able to win despite being saddled with McNabb but damn...over Parcells? Shanny and Vermeil over Parcells?

That's how I see it too.

In this new salary cap era my guy Bill B. does it better than anyone - so I voted for him.

But the teams that have marquis coaches with the resume to back it up are very fortunate. Players buy into the philosphies of someone that's done it all before.

You could also read that as "some of Mike Martz's players think he's a goof and will turn on him at the first sign of adversity".

I think Parcells is the single most overrated coach in NFL history... He's a great NFL throwback, there's no doubt. But a lot of Parcells is hype thanks to coaching two NY teams... He'll throw a team together and make them respectable... And is certainly a good coach. But I don't think he's top five. Top ten... No doubt.

Flip flop Bill Belichick and Gibbs for me. I'm not so certain I'd choose Gibbs in the top spot yet. He will have to really prove himself as a modern coach (last few years anyway) to earn that spot again. And what Belichick managed last season was more phenomenal that the first superbowl IMO

Hard to deny. I didn't think of him until you brought him up.

Probably STILL would be, even with modern defenses and offenses.

For my money as a pure coach I'd have to go with Shanahan over Belichick. The recent results argument is fine and justifiable to those who employ them, however in my opinion Belichick's results over the last four years are not solely on his shoulders.

Ask yourselves the following questions.

Who would you rather have as OC Weis or Kubiak?

DC Crennell or Robinson, Rhodes, Coyer etc.?

GM Scott Piolli or Shanahan/Sundquist?

QB Brady or Plummer/sob

Now I am in no way disrespecting belichick because he has 3 rings, but pure coaching ability x's and o's, I gotta give Mike the slight edge.

DomCasual
01-08-2006, 11:29 PM
It's hard to go against Belichick, but I'll take Shanahan - if nothing else, because I am a shameless homer.

I certainly don't think you give much up with Shanahan, that's for sure. Shanahan was widely considered to be the best coach in the game when the Broncos were winning Super Bowls. Since then, all he has had to do was replace arguably the greatest player to ever play the game, the greatest running back in team history, and virtually every other position on the team. What's he done whilst enduring this process? Well, he's gone 67-45 with four playoff appearences.

I'll take Shanahan.

I can't say who's the best coach in the league since I wouldn't know other teams as intimately as the Broncos.

I will say this though: Regardless of what happens, I want Shanahan to be the HC of this team as long as he wants.

Consider that in the SuperBowl years Shanny had Hall of Fame potentials in Rod Smith, Zim, TD, Elway, Sharpe, and a young Nalen and Eddie Mac and he won Two superbowls with those teams.

Now who do we have? If we're not Homers about it, ask yourself this: If you were a GM that could pick one offensive player at each position from any team in the AFC West how many Broncos, honestly would make it.

This is arguebly one of the least "pure" talent teams in the AFC West on offense. We don't have a franchise WR, or RB, or OL, or QB.

Yet Shanahan has molded this offense to a unit that's gone to the playoffs three years in a row and is 33-15 during that time.

How do you think the likes of Bellichick would do with a QB like Plummer? Or Vermeil/Shotty do without a star TE or franchise RB like Shanahan has done?

Belicheck lost two or three major coachs and he's still out there kicking up sand. That speaks volumes about him as a coach. Do you add the progress of the assistants? Where does that put Walsh?

Shanahan is getting ready to go through that same transistion. Kubiak is one of the most underrated coaching picks out there. His success should add to the Shanahan legacy. I am looking forward to continuing Shannywatch. The guy is just amazing in my book.

Whose the best coach in the NFL this year? Whoever won the Superbowl last year.
