Yahoo! rank all 32 NFL Head Coaches

Sideline to sideline: Who's the best NFL coach? - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Little article I thought some might like to read

I have to agree with #1

 

[Ring 6]

How does Ryan going 7-7 plus gifts as a rookie HC rank above Caldwell, who won every game they tried to win until the SB in his first year, or Sparano who took over a 1-15 team and went 11-5 (then beat Ryan twice last year) or Mike Smith who also did better in his irst year and as well with his QB hurt in his 2nd?

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

I think BB is the best coach but Sean Peyton is the one who won a super bowl last season. It's like saying the Colts were the best team in the '04 and '05 seasons when the Pats won 2 super bowls straight.

But if we're talking overall, BB is the best coach in the league.

I am sure it's overall. But Jabba is far too high! Others on the list are better.

I would have to agree and thats jus not the pats fan in me talking. He only has one season in. Of all the 1st year coaches last year he wasn't the most successful nor did he have the biggest uphill battle personnel wise.

He is the only 1st year coach in the top half! (I could be wrong, but that all I can think)

These are valid points, but I don't think even Jim Caldwell would think he is a better coach than Ryan. Caldwell came into an already-built team with a top 2 QB who wins at least 12 games on his own every year. Not that I think Ryan is great or anything, but Caldwell? A wax statue could do his job just as well.

I agree with #1 as well..

Interesting the other night driving home in the "hurricane" listening to someone named Damon on 98.5 and in his quest to be "edgy" or generate calls, was contending that BB was "burnt out"... he was comparing BB to Shula in his last days, Parcells in Dallas etc.. made little sense, but he sounded stupid.

They rated Pete Carroll at #23. A bit high I think... I would have said #28 or 29.

Eric Mangini had the Jets at 9-7 the year before too.
You are severely underselling the fact that aside from facing a good team in the sb this time, thereby allowing Manning to choke, last year was better than the Colts have ever been in the Manning era
