Greatest Coaches in NFL History - Commonalities
 
When you think about all the greatest coaches in NFL history, there is one commonality....

A reserved personality

Think about it....

Vince Lombardi
Bud Grant
Tom Landry
Chuck Noll
Bill Belichick
Joe Gibbs
Paul Brown

None of them went around shooting their mouths off or jumped up & down on the sidelines (Pete Carroll). They all just "did their jobs".

When I listen to Rex or Pete Carroll, it makes me squirm. Pete is a great guy, but why is he always fumbling and mumbling for words? Rex is just plain diarrhea-mouth.

It just makes me grateful we have a coach like Bill Belichick.

Here's another commonality: "Not Jim Caldwell."

I don't think there has ever been a coach that tries to convince everyoen how great his team is and win games in the media, that has ever won anything.
A few have tried, none have succeeded.

I'm also pretty sure none of them were stupid enough to post a foot fetish video to Youtube either.

You need to learn more about Vince Lombardi.

If you consider the other commonalities, most are NFL historians too! They have studied the game and they analyze the numbers. They use techniques to motivate their players from within, not with external factors.

If we could list all the commonalities, I highly doubt Rex would have many of them.

I did not say they had/have the exact same personality, I said commonalities shmessy. And I originally wrote,

"When you think about (almost) all the greatest coaches in NFL history, there is one commonality...."

But decided to delete the "(almost)" because I figured no one would be so literal as to attempt to find the one exception...guess I was wrong, huh?:p

Yeah but you listed Lombardi specifically giving some of us a "wth" moment. LOL

I think the commonality is winning, personally. I think looking at anything beyond that, especially across too many different NFL eras is a mistake.
