Top 10?

[Cochese]

I will say yes, and the people that dont agree probably had Parcells cut their favorite player.

 

[Juke99]

Oh so we're telling the truth huh?

I can't stand him for the way he treats Henson!

Oh no...there is no way you're gonna sucker me into that discussion...nope.




























I agree

 

[Juke99]

He's a coach who made his bones in NY, and he deserves that, but he's had his fair share of losing, non-playoff seasons, and hasn't even won Super Bowls with teams from different decades, nor has he been an innovator in football, imo.

I'm not attacking him...though I've never liked him, I'll give him his props, but I say no way in Hell is he top 10.

Just off the top of my head, without even looking at a list to make sure I don't overlook anyone, I'd say George Halas, Paul Brown, Vince Lombardy, Tom Landry, Don Coryell, John Madden, Don Shula, Joe Gibbs, Bill Walsh, Chuck Knoll, Bill Cowher all rank ahead of Parcells in my opinion.

Jimmy Johnson, Bud Grant, Marv Levy get consideration.

But that's just me...there have been many many coaches in the NFL, so not putting Parcells in the freakin' top 10 all time is not a big deal. He won the SB with the same basic team, and has not won another one...being tough and helping teams become something better when they were mired in crap can be done by many good, solid coaches, but it doesn't make you top 10 all time, imo.

hey...this is a MUCH better response than mine.

Good post. And of Course how could you forget a guy that has more rings that Parcells...Belichick.

Huh??? Most of the guys you named did none of that stuff ....

Jimmy Johnson???? he had 2 good years as a coach ....... thats it .....

John Madden????? for what? 1 superbowl and a video game for 20 years?

I think he's got the best winning percentage of any coach in the HOF...

Yeah all he did was put together a team that won 3 out of 4 Super Bowls and should have been 4 in a row...Has Parcells done that?

Bill Parcells=2 SB's. 3 Super Bowl appearences.

JJ= 2 SB's. Dont even get me started on his years with the Dolphins.

Parcells has had his dog teams too just like Jimmy had with the Dolphins.

Are you telling me that Johnson couldn't have won the Super Bowl that Switzer did?

And as far as Parcells 2 Super Bowls...He better thank his lucky stars for Norwood or he's be 1-2.

Its not about hypotheticals. Its not about what JJ could have done or what that idiot kicker should have done. I will admit, JJ in the fox studio is highly amusing.

Well then 2 Super Bowls in 5 years is a hell of a lot more impressive than 2 in what 20 some years.

Parcells won SB's four years apart. Whats your point

 

[Concord]

I'm saying that Parcells has had Many more years of coaching than Johnson to add to that total and here we are still waiting.

Yawwwn. If Parcells wanted to go hide out in television studios instead of still competing and still having passion for the game, he could.

He did.

And Jimmy is coming back someday...To replace Parcells in Dallas!

 

[dbair1967]

Before reading the responses, I made my own list, just to see where Parcells would be. Yours is close to mine. This is what I came up with, in order:

George Halas (Papa bear coached forever)
Paul Brown (his team was known as the Browns)
Vince Lombardi (Disciplinarian who influenced other coaches and the game.)
Tom Landry (great at making the players fit the scheme)
Don Shula (great at making the scheme fit the players)
Bill Walsh (you can't argue with success)
Joe Gibbs (the enemy, but a good one.)
Chuck Noll (see Walsh comment)
Bill Parcells (still could move up the list)
Dick Vermeil (took a long hiatus and only won one SB, but always builds winners.)

how the hell could anyone have Dick crybaby arse Vermeil on a top-10 list ahead of Bill Belichick?...Vermeil doesnt belong on any top anything lists, unless its for most tears during a press conference

I'd drop Vermeil and Parcells off and add Jimmy Johnson and Belichick...otherwise your list is fine

yeah...look at all that success he had in New England, with the Jets and here in Dallas

he's never once coached a team to back to back conference championship games, let alone back to back super bowls...his two super bowl winning teams didnt even make the playoffs the following year

he's a good coach, but he is being overrated somewhat by alot of people...to date here in Dallas he has been a much better talent evaluator than coach on the field IMO...
