He is the longest tenured coach in the league yet he's been to one SB and lost it. I don't remember Tenn. making it to an other AFCCG either. I've got news for you - if you coach for 16 years and make it to one Super Bowl, you are by definition average. In fact every 16 years, you should make it to 2 AFCCG if you are truly average. He also has a 5-6 post season record - not that impressive to have 1 post season win every 3 seasons.
I agree. Tomlin is still unproven because he inherited a pretty good team with very good coaches.Obviously he isn't interested in being a HC. And that's the thing about Tomlin that bothers me, he inherited schemes and a system and to some extent staff. He was actually a Tampa 2 coach... So essentially he's just overseeing a machine that wasn't built on his watch.
Sean Payton by a distance, in fact I think he's not a million miles away from BB.
No love for John Harbaugh though? The Ravens were going backwards at an alarming rate before he took over, and he's remoulded them into a superb team.
Tom Coughlin
This. 10 charHeh... Reminds me of Grouchos comment//
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read....."
After Coach B, there is no one else to speak of.
Our Patriots nation will end when he retires.
I think Coughlin has been successful at every stop. I think he suffers from being in NY and the scrutiny the media puts on him. If he was in another city, they would love the guy. He's tops on my list, but a distant second to The Hoodie.
I think he suffers from being a dinosaur. His people skills are abrasive to say the least. He lost that team in 2007 and was headed for disaster and unemployment until (I hate to say it) Strahan decided to broker a unity campaign and got players to back Eli in spite of his shortcomings and basically ignore the old fart and just listen to their coordinators and play for each other. He's flirted with unemployment since... He's like Tuna without the cache, and even Tuna had his players flat out tune him out because he's just too old school. Can't play it that tough when these guys are making as much or more than you do. Belichick knows how to walk the fine line between discipline and total rigidity. He knows the importance of building his own infrastructure in the locker room and letting that police the malcontents and malingerers. And he never uses the press to send his messages. If a player doesn't get it here or causes trouble here, he just moves on. Taking battles of will public doesn't light fires anymore, it just alienates them.
