:thanks: Seriously. Slideshows longer than 5 are super annoying.

ETA: shocked to see Coughlin in the top 10, much less #2. Never been impressed with him. Better lucky than good, I suppose. I'd have Arians and McCoy higher than they are. McCoy took over an AJ Smith/Norv Turner mess and made things decent. Bill O'Brien isn't totally to blame for his QB situation which is the main thing holding him back. Shouldn't have let Fitzpatrick go only to sign Hoyer, though. How is Rex Ryan so high?!

Thought they were a little hard on O'Brien and Zimmer. Both have done decent with the talent they inherited. Also, would put Arians higher. one of my favorites

 
This is basically a tabloid:

Chip Kelly, #16

"We have Kelly so high simply because he’s No. 1 in his own mind and that kind of bravado and panache pays off on the sideline. But let’s put the odds at 50/50 that he’s at USC or Texas within the next three months."

Chuck Pagano at 8?!?!

Just to play devils Advocate: there are 7 active head coaches with a SB win. The only one he's ranked ahead of is Sean Payton. The three highest winning percentages among the 32 is Bowles (6-2, .750), MM (.670 with Favre & Rodgers), Pagano at .667. So 9th or 10th seems about right, no?Re: Coughlin - built a team from scratch that went to the Conference Championship in its 2nd year. Only coach besides BB with multiple rings. Moves into top ten all-time in wins if the Giants finish .500.

Reid #4? :loco: He's been a liability this year.

Not a great game coach, and his clock mismanagement is legendary. But it's gotta be about more than just in game stuff.

He took over an Eagles team that had won 3 games and within two years had them on a five year run that included 7 playoff wins. Went to KC and took a 2 win team to the playoffs. He drives fans nuts with his decision making once the ball is kicked off but I think you have to rank him as a great organizational coach.

I think to be ranked #4 he should be a good game coach. I agree he turns teams around and is a good overall coach but no way should he be 4th.

I stopped reading at that point. Yeah, he was impressive 10 years ago. Hasn't won a playoff game since '08.

ETA: funny to see that list is from USA Today, who earlier this year (and 2 losses ago) had Reid as #2 on the coaches hot seat, just below Caldwell.

Yeah, it has to be- the bottom is pretty much all of the newer guys (besides Caldwell, lol).

Man, there are a lot of crappy coaches in the NFL...

"Put McCarthy with the Raiders and I think he’s Tom Cable."

I know they were trying for hyperbole but this is ridiculous. McCarthy is 3-4-1 with Rodgers not in the lineup... basically a .500 coach with no QB. What he has done to improve the defense, running game, and special teams is nothing short of spectacular, and he's been able to accomplish all of this despite less experience/tenure than those other top coaches.

After a decade of head coaching, McCarthy has a better career winning percentage than Belichek. And I would argue McCarthy has done it with worse teams. He's a top 3 coach for me and I'm super happy he's coaching the Packers.

8. CHUCK PAGANO, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS, 4TH YEAR (36-18)

This one surprised me. Even before the failed punt play I would have had him ranked bottom 10. He has made questionable personnel/scheme moves since becoming the head coach (trying to ride Trent Richardson as a bell cow?), and the defense has been a sieve despite having a few top players to build around the last few years (Vontae, Mathis).

Bowles at 14 and Quinn at 24 makes no sense to me. Both are 1st year guys yet Quinn has a better record.

 
I stopped reading when I saw Carroll at 3

What a joke. Tomlin has done much more with less. Sean Payton is better IMO. McCarthy.

Reading these replies... Chip Kelly at 18 is the icing on the cake. The guy hasn't done anything in the nfl but he's ahead of nearly half the coaches?

The only thing great about this article is that it wasn't a slide show

A lot of those coaches haven't done "anything" in the NFL either. Love h

Love him or hate him, but Kelly took over a 4-12 team and has gone 23-15 since.

All I could think when I kept reading it is that guy is way too high. Then I realized there just isn't many good coaches period. They need to stop hiring these retreads (Caldwell) and get some fresh blood in. Still a horrible list though, Coughlin is one of the worst coaches in football, so is Pagano.

 
I disagree with most of the list. Look at what the Jets have done this year without Rex Ryan. What is he good for besides putting his foot in his mouth? Jeff Fischer is coach that has his team playing 500 ball even though his team is absolutely loaded with talent. He ranks among the worst coaches in my book.

 
The ranking seems to be quite flawed. Some coaches who are having terrible years are ranked almost solely on their historical record yet, at the same time, he has first year coaches ranked higher than solid coach like Zimmer. This reminds me of this power ranking when the author put first year coach Dennis Allen in his top 10: https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?/topic/651516-nfl-head-coach-power-rankings/?hl=%2Bcoach Will these guys even make it to their 4th year? I guess you can't take this list to seriously when you read the utter banality of commentary.

 
Gruden a little to high on this list. I'd probably drop him a couple spots. He has no idea how to even speak at a press conference and as zero control of the locker room.

 
At first I thought, Whisenhunt has to be #32, but man, there are some awful coaches with jobs. Arians and Pagano stick out as severely under/overrated on the list.

 
O'Brien is more to blame for the Texans' QBs than most give him credit for. Keep in mind he was staring down Derek Carr after just letting Minnesota jump him for Bridgewater and passed again. Instead he waited to take Tom Savage later on because, as a good Belichick disciple, they all think they can find the next Brady late in the draft. He also brought in Crennel who's sent the defense into a nose dive.

Now the Texans will have to draft a 1st round QB this year and it likely means a few years, while that QB is learning, to get back to being decent while all of the defensive stars will age past prime. Ugh.

 
Who in their right mind would choose tomsula over Mike zimmer?

10/10 click bait effort
