SI ranks the top 25 coaches of all time...

[trickblue]

Today they end at #6. leaving the top 5...

I am surprised they ranked Lombardi as low as they did...

Who will the top 5 be? For us Landry and Parcells are still out there...

I say, in no particular order: Belichik, Noll, Landry, Parcells and Shula.

25. Jimmy Conzelman
24. George Allen
23. Ray Flaherty
22. Hank Stram
21. Dick Vermeil
20. Sid Gillman
19. Marty Schottenheimer
18. Weeb Ewbank
17. Jimmy Johnson
16. John Madden
15. Mike Shanahan
14. Marv Levy
13. Bill Cowher
12. Bud Grant
11. Mike Holmgren
10. Dan Reeves
09. Earl Lambeau
08. Bill Walsh
07. Vince Lombardi
06. Joe Gibbs

Nice list -- BP is likely 4 or 5 -- Me, I would have ranked Levy much higher

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Jimmy Johnson behind Levy, Cowher, and Grant?!?

And I know he coached the hated Niners, but why isn't Bill Walsh higher? Three Super Bowls speaks for itself.

Don't foget, also still available are:
Barry Switzer
Chan Gaily
Dave Campo
:laugh1:

Yeah... certainly over Cowher and at least on par with Bud Grant, who also had 4 SB losses...

 

[Hostile]

Going to Guess...

5. Parcells
4. Belichek
3. Landry
2. Noll
1. Shula

Not how I would rank them, how I think they will.

That looks about right...

"What, no room for me on that list?"

No room for him much of ANYWHERE...

 

[The30YardSlant]

Lombardi not being #1 is a travishamockery

 

[Yeagermeister]

Where's Paul Brown?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Where's Paul Brown?

6 feet under

Man! That's a lot of bacon for two eggs!! Look at his ring finger! No wonder that finger looks half dead...it cannot get any blood!!

And, that is McSlobbs daddy!!

 

[trickblue]

Where's Paul Brown?

Good question... and George Halas as well...

 

[Yeagermeister]

6 feet under

I knew someone would go there

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Somebody on that top 5 list is not going to make it. Paul Brown is not there and he, IMO, is the best coach there ever was. An opinion, of course, but I suspect it's one that will be shared with more then just a few voting.

The guys at ES aren't going to like this!

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Yep, you know the Papa Bear is going to be there.

Well, if Parcells is one of the top 5...there are going to be posters HERE that aren't going to like it!!

 

[trickblue]

Yep, you know the Papa Bear is going to be there.

Belichik, Noll, Landry, Parcells, Shula, Brown and Halas all deserve to be in at LEAST the top 25...

Two of these don't make the top 25... how is that?

Plus, Coryell, Ditka and Knox deserve cosideration at least win-wise...
