Brian Billick comes to mind.

He can thank Marvin Lewis and a great personnel department for putting together an incredible defense that gave him a Super Bowl.

I dont think there are too many over rated coaches in the NFL...
I think John Gruden is a bit over rated

Right now - our own Bill Parcells.

He's built a team, but no winning so far.

This year that all changes. :)

But also, to that - I would add Joe Gibbs. Terrible offense his first year - obviously Williams was carrying that team. So they have to bring in someone to help him with his offense. This year, they hire the best OC in the game. Not sure what exactly Gibbs is doing to earn his paycheck, but good for him. :)

Get your timeline straight...

2004- poor offense for many reasons, poor team
2005- 4 game improvement, offense improves to #11 in NFL, NFC seminfinals
2006- brings in Al Saunders to improve an already equipped offense, one of the top NFC contenders

Anyone who thinks Joe Gibbs is overrated needs their head examined. He has won 3 Super Bowls and is in the Hall of Fame - only coach in the league with those credentials.

My timeline was correct.

It just wasn't embellished to make Gibbs sound god-like.

Given how hard these men work, putting their futures in the hands of players who can screw up everything, and under the pressures that they do it, none of them are over rated, but many are under appreciated.

I guess you just forgot to mention 2005 where he led them to a playoff victory without a top offensive coordinator.

Larry Brown... oh wait, wrong sport.

I would have said Martz before he lost his job, although I do think he can do wonders as an offensive coordinator. I guess I'll go with Dungy.

No, I mentioned the guy he brought in to help fix the offense he couldn't fix. Worked out nicely.

Now he's got someone to do it all. Easy money. :D
