Can't name a favorite but another one that was greatly under rated and overly hated by the general public would be Zimmer. 4-3 coach that did pretty well with the switch to 3-4, not his fault that his defensive secondary was average at best.

 

[jobberone]

Gene Stallings maybe. Probably like Ernie Stautner best though.

Wade Wilson. Because he goes all out to make his wife happy.

Who is your favorite all-time assistant coach and why?

For me it's Norv Turner. I don't think he was a great head coach, but he really did a great job and you never hear him and Jimmy Johnson being friends, etc. I think the players just needed him and he knew how to put them in the best situation to win.

Danny Reeves and Mike Ditka.

I doubt Rob Ryan gets mentioned....

 

[phildadon86]

Was Sean Payton not an Assistant coach?

 

[BigStar]

Dave Wannstedt. Because he was good.

Toss up bw him and Norv for me. EDIT: After seeing philadon's post above, forgot we had Payton under BP but lost him to NO...imagine what he could've done with Romo.

 

[Cowboy06]

Danny Reeves and Mike Ditka.

Great choices as well.

Ernie Stautner

Yep, with an honorable mention to Tom Landry, who was both offensive and defensive coordinator while head coach.

Well Wade Wilson decides to do things to really enhance the relationship between he and his wife, even if it means suspension by the league.

lol

Ernie Stautner

no doubt.........the energy of Marinelli, but the outright look of a NFL warrior in the trenches for years.

 

[Redball Express]

I doubt Rob Ryan gets mentioned....

He was my most favorite scapegoat besides TO.

I would add Zimmer, too.

He kept us good for a long time.

Glad to see him succeeding in Minmy.

I have to say Stautner as well. My second choice would be Zimmer by a mile. I think he was vastly underrated as a coordinator and scapegoated to a ridiculous degree. I wish he was the head man in Dallas. IMHO, Zim is the best coach from the Jimmy Johnson tree.

 

[Risen Star]

Ben Bloom.
