Those were the names that jumped out at me as well and the rationale they give for being ahead of Shula doesn't hold water.

• Seifert - NFL's all time winningest coach with one team. Notice that little caveat at the end, that's because he is actual behind Shula and others in winning percentage
  
• JJ - He is credited for building the Cowboys and taking them from worst to first. Fair enough but didn't Don do that with the Phins as well?
  
• Madden - If we are counting regular season winning percentage that highly then were is George Allen on that list?
  
• Stram - Guess we are weighting those AFL titles pretty heavily.
  

 

I won't comment on most of the older coaches because I know very little about them. But George ****ing Seifert ahead of Shula is criminal.

 

Walsh at 8?
JJ ahead of Shula?
Bellichick isnt even on the list?

GTFO.

 

Shula coached 6 SB teams.
Still, it's silly seeing some of those names ahead of him.

 

I got upset for a second there. NFL Network will be having a greatest coaches special. At first thought I already missed it, and they were that stupid.

 

George Seifert above Shula makes the list irrelevant nonsense. You just don't understand the NFL at a very basic, fundamental level if you have Seifert over Shula. Theres no argument to be made that Seifert is better than Shula. Hell Seifert being in the top 10 is absurd. Above Shula and Chuck Noll? I mean seriously, I'd laugh in someone's face and dismiss them as an idiot about sports if they even tried to sell me this load of nonsense. Embarrassing that someone actually wrote this and expects to be taken seriously.

 

Those guys couldn't carry Shulas jock strap.

 

So it is true. Shula did wear a jock for games!

Who's better by winning percentage and number of titles won?

Lombardi.
Halas.
Then Shula.

Shula won more games than either Halas or Lombardi.

By objective measures, Shula is in the top three.

 

This list a great example of lazy journalism. Nothing to see here.

 

At first I thought it was a real article. Anyone could write the crap he did.

see look.

Top 10 Greatest QBs of all time!
1. Mark Sanchez
2. Tim Tebow
3. Greg McElroy
4. Ronnie Brown
5. Ryan Leaf
6. Cooper Manning
7. Shane Falco
8. Phillip Rivers
9. Tony Romo
10. Chad Henne

 

I think Ronnie threw a better spiral than Sanchez.

 

ESPN is doing the same thing. Here's a link if anyone is interested:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/feature/index?page=greatestcoaches

 

Good to see Shane Falco get some love.

 

Wow....just wow...the LEADING all time coach in wins, playoff appearances and btw, engineered the only PERFECT season, #11....you gotta be kidding me...I suppose BB will #1 cause he's the league and media darling... I'm pretty shocked he's not in the top 2-3....someone goofed up there...

 

Their '74 draft was amazing. Swann, Lambert, Stallworth and Webster. They also added Donnie Shell as a UDFA.

 

this is a travesty of justice . Jimmy Johnson should never be ahead Knoll or Shula in fact I would put Mike Shanahan before Jimmy Johnson.

I will tell you this the media needs to show Shula more respect or they wont have any credibility with me.:tantrum:

 

That would be my basic list. Might argue about Levy, but Johnson on this list is beyond travesty. The original list at the top of this page is utter bovine scatology!!

 

I'm watching the ESPN show about the top 20 coaches of all time. They didn't even have Siefert in the list of 10 coaches who missed the cut. JJ was #13. They're counting down and they haven't mentioned Shula yet. He's at least in the top 5. Paul Brown #6.

 

Shula should be #1, hands down he is just the best there has been.

JJ's issue is the list is "NFL" not "Football Coaches", so his time a :theu: doesn't count.

All time pro football coaches I'd toss the CFL's Wally Buono on the list as well.

Interesting thing about Bud Grant is he also got his Head Coaching start in the CFL and was there nearly a decade and had a ton of success.

 

Lombardi won 5 titles and 75% of his games. He's clearly #1. It's pretty much a toss up between Shula and Halas for #2.

 

Shula is #1, no one did what he did, and keep in mind Lombardi won his title when the NFL was rather small, it's bit like Red Auerbach's Celtics.

 

Paul Brown told Bill Walsh his offense would never work in the NFL.
Hired Bill Johnson. :lol:

 

Don't see how in the end, if we judge everything by winning...you don't give the nod to the guy with the most wins. That being said, if the all-time winningest coach isn't in the Top 3...then success can't be all about winning. If that's the case, Marty Shottenheimer needs to be in the pantheons of greatness.

 

By that logic, the all time greatest runningback of all time is Emmit Smith.

 

You can make a case for that. He's got the stats and the wins.

I think any top 4 would have to be Shula, Brown, Lombardi, Walsh and you could but them in whatever order you wanted and it would be hard to argue.

The next tier would include Halas, Landry, Gibbs & Noll, again, whatever order.

the last 2 spots could be used for any of these: Belicheck, Coughlin, Levy, Lambeau, Grant, Strahm, Gillman

 

I cannot see putting Strahm on the list over Jimmy Johnson, JJ had far more long term success then Strahm.

 

This!

Miami's 1972 season was amazing and Shula was the Architect. He lost his star quarterback early in the season and plugged in Earl Morrall and didn't miss a beat. The same Earl Morrall a lot of people thought was washed up. He is truly one of the greatest coaches of all times, if not the greatest coach.

 

Huh?

In 9 years JJ had a .555 Win% in the regular season.
In 17 years Stram had .575 Win% in the regular season.

 

Why should we even care what some nobody named Jeric Griffin on some obscure site called rantsports.com thinks?

 

IMO, Paul Brown.

 

What a load of crape this list is!
Ronnie Brown below Sanchize?!?

LoL Ronnie made the best of the rest list for all time top ten lefty QBs

Sanchez? Top ten QB to get his helmet stuffed up his centers...asterix

 

Actually I think I would really like to party with this cat. Hes obviously got a really good connection. That shtuffs got to be dang near pure.
