Bullsh*t.

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

I almost voted for Marty just to see the reaction.

ozomulsion · 08-28-2004, 11:35 AM

That fella in NE looks to be halfway decent. Not a real people person but he gets the job done.

Rock Chalk · 08-28-2004, 11:41 AM

Your opinion...Bob.

How many times do I have to tell you your opinion doesnt count.

The question was directed at the maniacs. Thats the Orange Maniacs. Thats Bronco fans. That does NOT include you.

Belichick. Shanny would make a fine assistant, however.

orange 4 life · 08-28-2004, 11:46 AM

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.

No doubt, Bill Belichick. I mean last season through all the turmoil at the beginning of the season and he still kept the team together and look wat happened?

Popps · 08-28-2004, 11:54 AM

Norv Turner by a longshot.

Tredici · 08-28-2004, 12:01 PM

Are you talking right now? The guy I like isn't even an option.

Dennis Green gets a spot but no love for John Fox?

Dennis Green deserves a spot, but I was indeed remiss in forgetting John Fox. I was trying to type all fast.

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.

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.

Tredici · 08-28-2004, 12:05 PM

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

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

That's it precisely. Feel free to slot Shanny in at his appropriate 1997 slot.

Doesn't Shanny get half-credit for the Ram win? Dick Vermeil admitted to using Shanahan's philosophies so I think there should be a tie for that season.

I'm not sure Shanny should even want half of Dick.

Garcia Bronco · 08-28-2004, 12:18 PM

Rught now I've have to say...billy in NE followed by Mike Shanahan

Taco John · 08-28-2004, 12:27 PM

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 Kurt Warner and Trent Green 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.

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?

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.
