BB THE GOAT

Top 4 NFL Head Coaches of the Super Bowl Era (not necessarily in order)

Bill Belichick

The resumé is undeniable. Namely 9 Conference Championships and 6 Super Bowl rings... both are the most ever. His knowledge of the game and his awareness from the sideline are impressive. His two greatest achievements as a head coach are SB 36 and SB 53. The obvious knock on Belichick is his lack of success as a head coach without Brady. The SB 52 debacle is his low point. Belichick will likely catch Shula for all-time combined wins but I he may not catch Shula in regular season wins. But he will surpass Dan Reeves in regular season losses.

Joe Gibbs

Gibbs has the greatest accomplishment of any head coach in the history of the NFL: 3 Super Bowl championships with 3 different starting quarterbacks (none hall of famers and two were pretty much garbage). He has a slightly better postseason winning percentage than Belichick. And he has the highest postseason winning percentage of all head coaches with 15 or more games.

Don Shula

His resumé is also undeniable. All-time leader in wins, both regular season and combined. He's 4th all-time in losses but he has at least 78 more wins than the 3 head coaches with more losses. Of course he's got the only undefeated season in the history of the league. And the back-to-back Super Bowl championships. My big knock on Shula is he never won a Super Bowl with Dan Marino who was an absolute phenom of his era.

Bill Parcells

Parcells is a polarizing figure but there isn't a head coach that I admire more than Parcells. He turned four different franchises into winners and postseason contenders, which is a phenomenal achievement. He won 2 Super Bowls with 2 different quarterbacks. Regarding his time in New England, he rejuvenated fan interest and took over a team that had pathetically struggled under Rod Rust and **** MacPherson. He made the team relevant again and brought them to a Super Bowl but couldn't overcome an incompetent quarterback performance.

Honorable Mentions: Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh and Tom Landry
They all have the same thing in common. Great players with a philosophy and winning formula. The goats have it all plus the ability to out coach and motivate the coaches and players around them.
 
@Dingleberry whats the over/under on how many times people will say "but his record without..." Is stated/asked?

--------
When RKK hired him, i was not a fan of the move. I was wrong.

Still happy to call him our Coach. He can stay as long as he wants afaiac

O/U 61.5 before the thread gets locked.
 
Matt Patricia was snubbed in that poll for GOAT assistant coach
He was excluded under the rules that required no failed head coaching gigs in order to qualify.

Parcells won nothing after leaving the Giants.
In NE he had a .500 record
With the Jets he missed the playoffs 2 of 3 seasons and won 1 playoff game.
In Dallas, he didn’t win a single playoff game.
After leaving the Giants in 11 years he only made the playoffs 5 times and was 3-5.

Parcells 11 Seasons (after NYG):

8 seasons .500 or better
2 Division Titles
5 Postseason Appearances
1 Conference Championship

His QBs:

Drew Bledsoe
Neil O'Donnell
Vinny Testaverde
Ray Lucas
Rick Mirer
Quincy Carter
Tony Romo

With that collection of QBs, Parcells gets an A+. Plus don't forget he won Super Bowls with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler.

Putting lipstick on a pig? 3 playoff wins in 11 years. GOATS aren’t GOATS because they are over .500 most of the time or make excuses.
2 division titles and 5 post season appearances in 11 years is mediocre.

according to this logic BB is not a goat coach
 
There was a time when BB was King of the World.

Virtually every move was gold.
 
Well, that's two muted already... Who will be the third?
Informed posters such as ourselves well know how important BB was and is to this organization.

(It's 2022 that he's responsible for) ,just as he's responsible collectively with the GOAT for our success.. getting 6 Lombardis

Its not about being "informed"... Its about guys who knowingly post crap... And its the same guys, same crap, or a slight variation of crap, over and over.

It is about being informed... I try personally to know.. or like to think I know what I'm talking about before I open my mouth on here.. I watch our team and analyze just like the informed posters do on here.. but anyways I agree with you.. just saying people need to have a little football information as well.. go to Google or something we all have thoughts and opinions doesn't mean it's reality
 
I disagree. i don't think you understand my point and will leave it at that.
Ok not arguing with you at all.. I've stated I agree with you, but also feel posters can better inform themselves like Ian does or Mike.. that's all.. we can respectfully agree to disagree I suppose

if that is what you call mediocre, then without Tom Brady, Bill Belichick is downright garbage
