Coach Ranks from Sporting News

1. Bill Belichick
2. Tom Coughlin
3. Andy Reid
4. Jeff Fisher
5. Mike Tomlin

6. John Fox

After that, you pretty much have a bunch of un-proven, inconsistent, haven't really done anything coaches.
 
Larry said:
Not really.

Inconsistent and the Jaguars haven't really coached up any of their draft picks.

JDR has made a living off of the foundation Tom Coughlin set down before he was unceremoniously booted from town.

I like Jack and think he has a world of potential as a coach, but god damnit, show me something legitimate, please.

I don't profess to know more about the Jags, than a Jags fan, but I think Del Rio's record has been pretty solid, save for last season.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/DelRJa0.htm

And to say it's all because of Tom Coughlin is a bit much. Del Rio is in his 7th season as the coach. Clearly Del Rio has his own stamp on this team now.
 
I think you may be under-estimating Mike Singletary. The guy did an outstanding job as HC with a team he didn't build in a mid-season switch. That's not easy to do. Yes you'd like to see more out of the guy, but I think 14 is fair for now.

I see a total of 2 stand out players that JDR has/had...Rashean Mathis and Maurice Drew...maybe Vince Manuwai if you want to get down and dirty. Mike Peterson and Deon Grant came in as FA and might have been the only two worth a damn.

David Garrard, Brad Meester, Fred Taylor, John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, Donovan Darius, Jimmy Smith, amongst many others that lead the Del Rio regime were Coughlin holdovers.

Terrible drafting team under Del Rio/Shack Harris and in the event that those players weren't that bad, they weren't coached up for beans.

Like I said, I like JDR, but he hasn't really done anything. 50-46 record, 1 playoff win, hasn't been able to take first in the division.

Meh. He has the ability to be so much more, but hasn't done it yet. Dude needs to step up.

LOL at #14 being fair. You're ranking a guy who has coached about half a season ahead of tenured coaches, some of who have been to Super Bowls recently and have done more and are still better coaches than Singletary at this point. Singletary may be a good coach someday down the line but having him ranked at #14 as of right now is asinine.
 
Singletary has won 5 games in his career...two of those wins were against the 2-14 Rams. The records of the other 3 teams were 7-9, 8-8, 9-7. So, in his career, Singletary has beaten one team with a winning record, and their record was 9-7. He's like the Mike Vick of coaches.

Him and McDaniels will battle it out for the worst coach.

BTW I love the jab at McDaniels. Nothing like saving the face of an organization by prioritizing the career losing QB as "the franchise".

No wonder why the franchise sucks at the moment.
Click to expand...

There is no battle. Sunshine is hands down the worst coach in the NFL.
 
Mike Smith should definitely be in the Top 10. He takes over for a new gm on a team with the baggage that Atlanta had to deal with and he picks up a franchise QB in the draft, a seemingly elite RB in Turner, and helps patch up a terrible defense enough to get the team to the play offs. He did that in one season, some coaches fail to do any of that in a career.
 
Looking at the list again I have to wonder how Singletary can be ranked so high yet Tom Cable ranked so low for essentially doing the same thing. It diesn't make any fucking sense.

But of his 4 losses, two of them were on the road against play-off teams and decided by less than 7 points (and both came down to San Francisco having a chance at the end but not capitalizing); one was his first week as a coach, when he was forced into duty right away (basically an impossible scenario); and the final one against Dallas was bad, but the Cowboys were one week removed from their bye week and were at home.

And when San Fran was playing for nothing, they still beat the Jets, Bills, and Redskins who were all playing for a play-off spot at the time.

I'm not saying he's an elite coach right now (although I honestly think he very well could be when it's all said and done)... what I'm saying is it's definitely fair to put him at #14. He took a horrible team and made them average contenders in 9 weeks. I really think San Francisco will be on the map this season and could make some noise.

Uh, you aren't a contender if you can't beat road playoff teams. Your point is pointless.

Leaf, why the Morris hate? I know you have a man-crush on chucky, but how can you be the worst coach in the league if you haven't coached a game.

Sidenote: LOL at the Childress hate. His team wins, depsite having nothing at QB or WR and a mediocre defensive outside of the Williams.

The only thing different between him and Mike Nolan is that Singletary got to play the Rams twice while Nolan didn't. Give Nolan two Rams games and he's 4-3 instead of 2-5, while Singletary probably goes 3-6 over the last part of the season.

Who didn't beat the Jets and Bills in the 2nd half of the season?

He has had one winning season which was last year, and took over a team that went 9-7 with Mike Tice and led them to a nice 6-10 finish. The team is solid at basically every position besides QB, and Childress has passed up many opportunities to solidify that by his insistence on trying to turn T-Jack into McNabb Jr.

I did forget about Jarod Allen earlier, but I really don't think the 'Queens defense is that good. The LB and DB are blah. WR's are pretty weak as a unit with a poor QB.

This is more of a general statement, but I don't like the trend to list teams as underachieving so quickly. Dallas is a perfect example, it's all Wade Phillips fault. They're really a talented team that just underachieves. I think it all stems from "lag" in identifying players. Once a player is recognized as really good, they are usually in decline (Lets call it the Brian Giles effect).

NFL careers are so short and volitaile. It's tough to identify truly talented teams, because the window of opportunity might only be one year.
