BB... #2 NFL winningest coach

[dtbrks]

Just a matter of time till he is number one.
And no, Kraft is not gonna fire him.
How many years have Seattle sucked balls now but they let petie keep his job during a long rebuild.

in 2020

I like to think he died knowing BB would surpass him.

When did he die

In fairness there was a lot going on in the world in 2020.

I see 2 separate things.

We can be happy for coach for his lifetime achievement and what it's done for this franchise. It's fantastic and I'm grateful. Nobody I'd rather have on the sidelines for us. This is a thread to celebrate that, and it oughta have nothing but good things in it.

Bittersweetness about today is completely separate.

I meant that it wasn't mentioned on the postgame show

I was thinking the same thing, a Lot of people died that year

Wait a minute....

I read all the papers, I listen to sports talk radio all day and surf pats fans message boards...this can't be right.

You mean to tell me this guy is actually good?

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow what a ride!”

5-3, first place this year. 7-10, 12-4, 11-5, 10-6...last 4 years they haven't sucked

Technically, Bill has been the second winningest coach for several weeks now. Now he just holds that distinction on his own. Congrats.

Same with Baltimore. I think people would be shocked to find out that Harbaugh has won 2 playoff games in the last 10 seasons.

EDIT: Well, it's 10 oclock and BB moving into 2nd alone is off of ESPN's news roll on the front page

Congratulations Coach...well deserved !!
Now let's win all our remaining games this year and next, the record for 1st overall should be yours sometime next season

Oft maligned on this board and on sports talk radio, when all is said and done BB will reign as the greatest coach of all time, until??

When did he die

That question combined with your avatar is just so exquisitely perfect!

I hope shula lives long enough to watch it happen.

Doing my best to emulate the prologue with Reface

McCourty with the water is great and I like that he gave Slater his ball first. Humble Bill.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Next stop Shula!!!!

I met George Halas in 1981, a couple years before he died. This was back in my newspaper reporting days and I brought my copy of Halas's autobiography to the Soldier Field press box hoping to get it signed. During pregame warmups I walked to the owner's box area and asked if he was available. His son-in-law, Ed McCaskey, said, "Well, that's up to Mr. Halas." Then I saw George turn in his seat down front and motion to me saying, "Come in, come in." I shook his hand, handed him the book and he asked my name, pulling a pen from his suit jacket. He autographed it to me personally; excellent handwriting, by the way. And I remember he had big hands. That was my encounter with the man who invented the National Football League in 1920, 102 years ago.

While reading it, I was worried how this story was going to end. So many times you hear about famous people being completely dismissive, I'm glad Halas wasn't one of them. Cool story!
