Well, i'll look at it from a couple of different angles...

I think John H. deserves the props because of success BAL has had in the playoffs (yea I know, he hasn't won a SB but 4 years, 4 playoffs, 2 AFCCG I think gives him the street cred over Petey).

We'll disagree over Foxy. I just think hes an outstanding HC, good defensive mind, very cognizant of talent and developing it. Same can be said for Petey but I don't think hes as good of a HC as Fox.

I give Kubiak credit for being part of an org that floundered a bit, but is now HC of a 12-4 team and a 2nd consecutive div appearance and a slight nod over Petey. Could go either way I guess..

Smith..Well, 5 years, .700 winning %...0-3 in the playoffs....I dunna know.

I do give Petey credit. hes done a solid job in SEA.

Wrong! The best running back in the NFL today is nicknamed "All Day".

Not as dominant now without their best pass rusher.

Atlanta or Green Bay/San Francisco will have their say in the matter.

People were saying they only won because Griffin got injuired so 'm just saying if they can come back against Tom and the number 1 offense its not unreasonable to think they could do it against a healthy Griffin and the Skins.

Of course it is. The point is the the Hags did come back they did not wilt and they did it in a playoff game on the road on the the east coast and they did it convincingly. The hags did what they had to do under adverse conditions. Give em credit they are for real.

As far as M. Lynch being the best back. I amended that statement in a later post. AP is the best hands down. Lynch is the best 3 or 4 in the league.

And Russel Wilson is the 4 th best QB remaining in the playoffs. I'd take him over Schaub and Flacco easily. The kid is cool as cucumber but still holds on to the ball to long as do most rookies.

No. It's more of the whole team. Namely the head coach. That fcuker took a superbowl team and corkscrewed it into the ground. He sucks. He screwed up his college program down in USC. Hopefully he will hand grenade his current team also.

However, if he didn't suck so bad, the Pats never would have hired BB. So, maybe a blessing in disguise?

No question mark needed after that statement. It clearly was a blessing in disguise.

There are a list of events and decisions that lead up to BB being hired as the HC of the NEP. Kraft making the decision is obviously the big enchilada. But Parcells bringing BB here (thanks BP) because Baltimore bolted for Cleveland (thanks Art), BB himself adamantly telling the Jets & BP to take a hike (thanks BB for making that mentally unstable choice -- as the Jet's front office suggested).....and Carroll Pete and his polar opposite approach to coaching than BP (thanks PC). Kraft saw his coaching style and this reinforced that the Patriots needed a BB type coach (and why not get the coach that is named for the type of coach you want? ).

With that said, I give credit where credit is due. He has the Hawks in the playoffs, playing better as the season went on (something he never accomplished with the NEP), some feeling like they have as good a shot as any to get to the SB. I have no idea how PC coaches the Hawks but I suspect he changed some of the 'California Pete' ways from his NEP days.
