Patriots Ranked #1 in all Sports in Fan Satisfaction with Coach and Players

Here's something interesting to consider in the offseason...

ESPN Magazine recently conducted a (slightly bizarre) fan satisfaction survey of all sports - not just football, apparently asking fans to rank different aspects of their teams

Questions such as stadium experience and affordability of tickets was considered for the overall ranking

When it came to fans rankings of their satisfaction with the players on their teams, and the coaching on their teams, the Patriots ranked #1 in both categories.

For comparison sake, the Jets were ranked by fans #73 in satisfaction with coaching and #92 in satisfaction with players

Colts should be #1

ESPN ranked Pats #1.? Are you serious.? They called our off season a 'pity party' last friday night on ESPN TV channel.

By the way, i'm not surprised with the result.

Overall they are, when you count things like, the affordability of tickets, and how satisfied fans are with the amount of time that players sign autographs etc...

And that's #1 of ALL sports teams - not just football.

I'm sure they are happy with that overall accomplishment - though its also clear that Colts fans aren't quite as pleased with their coaching and on field player performance as Patriots fans are.

It's kindof a bizarre little survey as I said but interesting nonetheless.

This isn't ESPN - its a poll they commissioned, asking 1000 fans what aspects of their local sports teams are most important, and then conducting a survey of 60,000 fans on their website.

It can't be. As a coach, i'm really concerned about PM's performance in the last 2 years and i'm not happy with his performance either as a player.

They are ya dummy. Click on RNK and see the Colts are ranked #1 overall. If you Indiana Goobers could figure stuff out, you might have a second Lombardi.

ESPN? You mean they didn't throw in a dig about cheating.

I have to question the validity of this poll. I mean the Anaheim Ducks are #5 overall. Really, how many fans do the Anaheim Ducks actually have? Did they get the rank confused with the total number of Anaheim Ducks fans?

Look me in the eye
And tell me that I’m satisfied
Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me I’m satisfied
And now are you satisfied?

Good point, Dungy must hate having one of the GOAT QBs running the show out there, someone who is inarguably one of the top-2 QBs in the league and won the Super Bowl a year ago.
