Same question but Pat Summit? I guess that's more greatest coach after being a really good player.

Cruyff and Beckenbauer are the first two that come to mind.

Tony Bennett was a great college player and is now a great coach. Didn't amount to much in the pros though.

Lenny Wilkins by a mile. HOFer as a player and as a coach
Joe Torre is pretty far up there as well.

Lenny Wilkens. Hall Of Famer as a player, 2 NBA title appearances as a coach, most wins (regular season + playoffs) in NBA history.

Don Shula, Tom Landry, Chuck Knoll, Tony Dungy, Forrest Gregg and Marty Schottenheimer were all players before coaching, I don't know how "great" of players they were or not, I always thought Dungy was pretty decent as were Forrest Gregg and Tom Landry from what I recall from reading about him books. I'm not certain about the others though.

Nate McMillan has been a pretty solid NBA coach and was a better than average NBA player.

Also was there ever a better secondary than the Lions had in the late 50s-early 60s? LeBeau, Night Train Lane, Lem Barney and Yale Lary all made the Hall of Fame. Look at career interception leaders, those guys make up 2 of the top 10, 3 of the top 20 and 4 of the top 40. Crazy.
