Ranking NFL head coaches by their chances at success in 2017

After penning a lament for Jason Garrett deserving a much higher rank than others want to give him, it warranted another column explaining the methods. In the middle of the offseason, we seem to have a lot of ranking pieces that come out, and the head coaching ranks always draw attention. So, where does every coach belong going into 2017? More importantly, how should a head coach’s rank be determined in the first place?

As mentioned previously, it’s not as simple as some sites make it out to be by ranking these coaches by tenure. Some coaches have had success earlier in their careers and have fallen off the pedestal a bit. Others have struggled with their first opportunities and have become late bloomers.

The best method in how to rank these coaches is by looking at the staff they have built plus the current talent on the roster. To be clear, this is not a ranking of these coaches based solely on their career achievements, this is a ranking of where they are going into this season. Without further ado, here’s how these coaches stack up for the 2017 season

Certainly high acclaim for JG, who was previously considered middle of the pack.

Here's hoping that this 2017 version of the Cowboys matches the optimism here.

I'd say there's no question that the outlook for this team is one that is on the rise.

whether you like him or dont like him, everyone should accept, admit, or consider the fact he needs to string some winning seasons along because there are less and less excuses. If i see more success from the Giants or Skins this year and they have done more with less than Garrett has, i will be highly upset. Garrett has got to get it into SLs head, "dont screw around, you have zero room for screw ups as well" The playoffs is where I knew SL would fail us and he came to play. It rests at Garretts feet tho if you want to HC in the NFL.

Both coaches have got to get it together for this season.
