Great that BB gets recognized, where he belongs, on a list like this, i.e., right behind Lombardi. I might put another HC or two between him and the immortal Vincent, but the author somehow left them off (see below).
But first, John Madden? Madden on the list of the top ten, let alone at number two?
If Ben Dreith doesn't stiff us on the Hamilton call, John Madden doesn't even have the one, lone ring he managed to win.
I have held for a long time that Madden should really be in the HOF as a "Contributor" (given his impact as an Announcer and with his Video Game in expanding the NFL Brand) but would only go in as a "Head Coach," in which capacity he truly does not belong there, based on his short tenure.
He retired at 42 with 103 regular season wins. OK, Lombardi retired (at 56 and in ill health) with 96 wins, but there is the little matter of FIVE League championships (including two SB's). Walsh retired with 93 regular season wins, but, heh heh, those three pesky Lombardi's intrude in the picture.
As for the rest of the list, it has a decidedly SB era bias and should perhaps be so named.
Where are Paul Brown, Curly Lambeau (the kid who wrote this article probably thinks that Lambeau field is named after a Wisconsin Cheese), Sid Gillman and the immortal Papa Bear? Any one of them belong in the top five, with Lombardi and Belichick.
