Best HCs of 2017

[Silver N Blue]

So Red is 12th...wish I could put this in the fanzone where everyone looks but have to follow the rules...hard to argue with the points in this blurb but the people ahead of him based on 2017 I do have a problem with several...enjoy.

2. Jason Garrett

Career Record: 58-46 (.548)

With The Cowboys Since: 2010

Last Year’s Ranking: 17


College football writer Spencer Hall once made the case for “not changing a damn thing” at coach. Hall argued that, with some Charlie Weis exceptions, most coaches are held to impossible standards, and discarded too quickly. NFLers like Gus Bradley and Joe Philbin beg to differ, but the Cowboys obliged. They didn’t change a damn thing at coach, keeping Jason Garrett after a 29-27 start to his career. Their reward has been one of the NFL’s clearest identities — control the ball on offense, bend, but don’t break, on defense — and two 12-win seasons in the past three years, with two different quarterbacks, no less. Owner Jerry Jones has found his desperately-sought return to relevance in the most surprising of places: Patience. Garrett is not a future Bill Belichick, or even Andy Reid. Given enough chances to implement his formula, he just might be the man to bring the Lombardi back to Dallas.

Gase at #10 is bad. They played a soft schedule and were lucky enough to catch teams at the right time. The unit he was responsible for, the offense, stunk. He should be around 15-16th

I like Jon Harbaugh, but it's been a while since his teams have done anything respectable. I would put him above Garrett, but barely.

Bill O'Brien hasn't done really anything except having the luxury in playing in a weak conference. I'd have a hard time putting him above Garrett by anything more than 1 spot.

Jack Del Rio should be rated higher. He took over an DISASTER of a franchise and in short term he developed a very good team. And I think people forget that the Jaguars were good for the most part under Del Rio. The last 2 years were a mess, but that could be blamed on the GM for giving out enormously bad contracts. Putting Hue Jackson over Del Rio right now is moronic.

Garrett's a difficult coach to put a label on. He's had a 12-4 and 13-3 season in the last 3 years...with 2 different QB's. That would normally be reserved for 'great' coaches. However, he had a 4-12 season and numerous 8-8 seasons and has an innate ability to badly blow games out of the blue. I'd probably put him as #10 on my list with a very hard upward trend.
