Default Sporting News fan poll: best head coach

Check out who fans think is the best coach. I guess SB wins and domination of the decade doesn't mean as much as it use to.

Who's the best head coach in the game. This was taken from a Sporting News Poll. Totally disgusting.


Bill Belichick
19%
Tony Dungy
27%
Mike Shanahan
8%
Mike Holmgren
14%
Someone else
33%

I think the fans are more biased than stupid. I wish there was a breakdown of who the "someone else" coaches are or could possibly be.

Pretty much what I'd expect from fans. Everyone who knows anything about football knows that Belichick is the best- the other 81% of fans from this poll are just bitter, stupid, or both. Nothing to lose sleep over.

In any poll such as this one, popularity plays a very large factor. More often than not, a person who takes the time to vote in this type of poll is not going to be objective. In this case, many of the votes are based on "who is my favorite" coach rather than "who is the best." Likewise, there will also be many 'negative' votes, where people vote for somebody/anybody other than the person they don't like.

Perhaps that 33% "other" vote was by fans who realized BB was the best coach but don't like him and the Pats, and realized that they could not in good conscience vote for Dungy or Holmgren.

I doubt that Red Auerbach in his prime would have been picked in a fan poll as the best pro basketball coach. Those cigars didn't make many opposing teams or fans very happy.
