List of the top 10 Head Coaches in NFL history

So again, the ONLY HC with 4 rings gets an honorable mention?! That's it?

What do you mean "that's it?"  I say he's a top ten coach of all time and I'm not giving him enough credit? 

And he's ranked BELOW the guy he beat? Twice? Wow. No honey, you're biased and that's all there is to it.

Your boy was mediocre (at best) before he put together possibly one of the greatest teams of all time, and when they got long in the tooth he sunk back into mediocrity, whereas Landry would lose a great player and find a great one to replace him with.  It's why he was relevant for more than 8-9 years, unlike Noll.  Landry had twice as many 10 win seasons as your boy, and while it might be inconvenient to you, it's relevant when discussing the greatest of the greats. 

Oh but lets all cling on to two games and disregard all the other facts. 

Really? Noll wasn't any good once his teams got old? So why is he continued to beat Landry in the regular season? If Landry was SO much better why did Noll usually win, even AFTER his teams got old? Hmmmm....? If Landry was so good, why was he fired? If he team he put together was so great, why did Jimmy go 1-15 with Landry's team? Want to discuss facts? How about those?

Really? Noll wasn't any good once his teams got old?

Right.  When his core group of guys got old he had trouble replacing them.  The name of the qb that replaced Bradshaw escapes me...who was it???  I know Landry had Don Merideth, then there was Craig Morton, then there was Roger Staubach, then there was Danny White. 

How about Franco's replacement?  In the 60's We had a guy named Don Perkins (6 time pro bowler)who made way for a guy named Calvin Hill (4 time pro bowler) who then made way for a guy named Tony Dorsett (HOFer), who was acquired how?!!?  Oh yeah, I remember!  Our reserves were considered good starters on other teams because, you know, Landry was so great at spotting talent,  so we were able to trade some of those types of players for Seattle's first overall pick in order to get him. 

how about Lynn Swann/Stallworth's replacement?  Louis Lipps maybe?  See we had these two guys in the 60's named Bullet Bob Hayes (HOFer) and Lance Rentzel.  If you don't know them look em up.  They were good. When they got old, we replaced him with Drew Pearson (3 time pro bowler) and this other cat named Tony Hill (3 time pro bowler).  When THEY got old we replaced them with this other scrub named Michael Irvin.  Don't know if you've ever heard of him but he was pretty decent himself. 

Do I need to continue or is it sinking in yet?

If Landry was so good, why was he fired?

Tom Landry WAS so good and everyone knows why he was fired.
Landry coached the Cowboys for 29 years as the only coach that
team ever had.  He was a true genius.  He found out indirectly that
he was being replaced when new owner Jerry Jones announced he
has hired Jimmy Johnson.  Heck, 1986 was the 1st losing season
Landry had in about 2 decades.  Indeed, Johnson only racked up
one win in his first year as HC in 1989, but Landry was 3-13  the
year before.  It was Steve Walsh, and not Troy Aikman that led them
to that single win. But to give due credit to Jimmy, it was HIS wheeling
and dealing that built a Super Bowl team (sending Walker to Minny
for a beaucoup of draft picks, and working the draft to snag Emmitt).          

BTW Dallas, thanks again for Steve Walsh, and thanks again for Sean Payton.

 10)     Jeff Fisher........go ahead laugh the guy is the most under rated coach in the NFL.          

Jeff Fisher has never won shit****. Nearly won one super bowl aside from that he makes the playoffs once every 3-4 years only to go one and done. Him at #10 is insane.

It's just so funny how I can say a coach is a top ten coach of all time and I'm somehow disrespecting him or selling him short.  It's all a matter of opinion!  Why don't people understand that!?  There is no "right" or "wrong" opinion.   It is what it is.

Some people's kids...

No worry kyle

This thread is just like a Power Ranking debate,
except that it's about coaches instead.

Nobody is bound to win it.    

I find it funny how the same person can discredit BB from their list for supposed cheating but in the same breath put Chuck Noll on it for also....cheating. His players were the biggest Steroid users, cocaine addicts and PED users in the 70s......but that's ok.....it's the person's favorite team.

This is  the pot calling the kettle black.  You accuse Noll of cheating, then you forgive Belichick for all his cheating....because you like the 2000's Patriots and you don't like the Steelers of the 70's.   

Hitsquad....are you realy that dumb. you claim on here that you do not support the Raiders but in the same voice you claim you have season tickets...so where do you think that money goes from you tax write off tickets you own......the Raiders pocket....but in the same voice claim that the only team you support is the Steelers. Don't give me that cop out of your money goes to all the teams.....you are a Raider fan masquarading as a Steeler fan.....oh and by the way....just before you go spouting off about your job...a cowboy fan PM'd me weeks ago and said that you are unemployed and don't even have a driver's license. Stop lying....please.   

I find it funny how bandwagon Patriot fans and their supporting flock of sheep praise Belichick for being a personell genius but then complain how the team around Brady sucks.  If Belichick's a genius, why is the team around Brady always so bad, according to these fans? If Belichick is truly a genius, and Brady is truly the best QB ever, like this Ravens "fan" contends, the Pats should win the Super Bowl every year.  But they don't.  

No pot or kettle at all. Noll and BB both were cheating in their own way...either directly or indirectly. I acknowledge both...more than what some poeple do. Last time I checked the coin has 2 sides.

There's a big difference.  BB was filming tapes from barred areas
and the team most likely would have won all or almost all of those
games without it, and it didn't affect the health of his players. On 
the other hand, Noll's teams were using steroids and/or performance
enhancing drugs that carried onto the playing field and they may
have won  their games too without it, but their kind of cheating
did health damage.      

Sonny....I am familiar with BB. He hangs out in Annapolis while in town visiting. He generally eats at various resturants at the Annapolis harbor. I know friends who's kids are waiters and waitresses. He is a total ass to them. And a horrible tipper. Now...I am aware that there is probably no harder worker in the NFL than BB...but he just needs to work on his social skills.

bfrla....you are 100% correct. Although the filming to some was and to some wasn't cheating the use of illegal drugs and performanace enhancing drug gave players an unfair advantage against their competition. But to continuously say that you can't discredit a man with 4 rings over a man with 3 is idiocy. If 1 cheated then they both cheated...regardless of the amount of rings. Take away both teams rings for cheating and the Steelers have 1 and Patriots 0. What's fair is fair. 

did lombardi and starr win every year? Did noll and bradshaw win every year? did walsh and montana win every year? All of them are in consideration of GOAT yet even they didn't always win. Every team loses even if they are the best. Being the best does not guarentee victory.

Kyle, not only is the ship not sinking - you haven't fired anything but blanks. You're point - and let me know if I'm wrong - is that you replaced the great players of the 60's (you mentioned Don Meredith, Craig Morton, Don Perkins, Calvin Hill, etc) with the great players of the 70's. Well, what's your proof they were great? (Perkins I'll give you). Didn't you competely SUCK the first few years you were in the league? Win any SB's in the 60's? Nope. So you arguing that is about as effective as me arguing for guys from the 80's on the Steelers that happened to be on the roster in 1979. PS...you're bragging that you replaced Roger Staubach with Danny White? Really? Since when is Danny White anything to brag about? You had SOME success in the 80's (more than us, I'll grant you) but clearly the glory days were over and Tom didn't finish very well. This next factoid is going to hurt. You asked who we used to replace Terry Bradshaw? Mark Malone. Now...keeping in mind you BRAGGED about Danny White - who's career QB rating is 81.7. Mark Malones QB rating is 93.7. OUCH! Moreover, Danny White only threw for 2,000 yards while Mark threw for 10,000. Remind me again why you're bragging about Danny White again.

"But their kind of cheating did health damage". Slight correction - PED's were legal in the 70's. Ergo, not cheating.

Another slight correction....players on PEDs playing against p[layers
not on PEDs gives an unfair advantage and IS cheating.
