And had two playoff teams.

whatever division Brady is playing in will assuredly be the actual worst.
As soon as he joins, Brees retires, His backup has season ending injury, Atlanta falls off a cliff, and Carolina is terrible. It’s like he’s playing the Jets, Dolphins, and the pre-Allen Bills all over again.

weak vs weak nets a better record genius , plus weak teams get weaker schedules.
But the two divisions with worse records play each other twice too! Besides, teams with worse records would get easier records, so your point is moot. That said, none of that really matters in today’s NFL, because nowdays, teams can change drastically from year to year.

Lol the fact Bill isn't number 1 on this list makes this meaningless..... Really any coach that has won a Super Bowl deserves to be listed ahead of others that haven't.

I would have him higher than 18. As some have already said, it may have more to do with him being in the hot seat this off-season than his actual coaching abilities. He s certainly not top 10.

But he also has more to overcome than most coaches because if the meddling of his superiors. No other HC has to hold off starting the coaches meeting while waiting for the owner’s helicopter to land so he and #1 son can be at the meeting.
I wanted Lincoln Riley. Still do.
Gotta disagree witcha brother. Lincoln Riley has always had an enormous talent advantage at OU over his opposing coaches’ teams. That talent advantage disappears in the NFL where the difference between a 4-13 team and 13-4 team is razor thin.

Being a successful NFL HC is exponentially harder than in college where the talent disparities make some coaches look better than they are. I think Riley is a good college HC. NFL quality? I’m not convinced.

The major flaw here is that they assume every HC has the same level of authority, the same level of autonomy, and the same responsibilities.

We will move McCarthy ten positions up to #8 in recognition of his almost insurmountable handicap.....Jerry Jones.

Guess which division has the most Superbowl trophies? Hint NFCE
True, but several “fans” swear the NFCE is the worst! Worst teams, easiest schedules, and anyone that says different is a Kool Aid chuggin’ Care Bear!

In all fairness McCarthy might rank a couple ticks higher than where he was put on that list but I don't give that list a lot of credibility.

That said we didn't exit early last year because of lack of talent or scheme.

Our problem was pure lack of discipline and ability to motivate players to play above their heads or at least up to their ability and I'm sorry but that is on the coach.

It's especially on McCarthy because he is a walk around coach and has coordinators to do the other jobs.
He failed at his job in the postseason no amount of sorry fixes that

I wonder where Barry Switzer would fall if he had Jimmy's team and if he had Dave Campo's teams. :lmao:

Sometimes the players make the coaches better than they are.

I wonder if McCarthy would even be a head coach today if he didn't have Farve and Rodgers?

He could've been a 2 or 3 year type of head coach and then moved around as a coordinator and maybe got another opportunity somewhere.

I don't believe for a second he'd be heading into his 14th year as a head coach if didn't start with Farve and Rodgers.

The AFC South is arguably as bad as NFC East.

Would McCarthy even be coaching if not for basically being a puppet for Jethro?

And would the Cowboys be picked to win any other division in NFC.

How does it change our perception of this team and coaching if we aren’t picked to win a division ?

Most likely our entire disposition rides on being in NFC East.
