Top 5 Coaches in the NFL RIGHT NOW.

[NormSizedMidget]

Do It. Rank em, or just list your top 5 in no order if you feel that's better.

Hoodie
Coughlin
SF Harbaugh
Tomlin
Kubiak

Thought the 1st 3 were a given, the last 2 was tough for me.

[flea]

No order:

Coughlin
Belichik
Payton
Reid
Tomlin

Shanahan is close.

[subroc]

Bill Belichick
Tom Coughlin
Mike Tomlin
Sean Payton
Mike McCarthy
Mike Shanahan
Andy Reid (honorable mention)

BTW, if you wanted to make the case that Sean Payton wasn't in the league now, I would remove Sean Payton, move Mike McCarthy up and add Mike Shanahan. I did consider Andy Reid for that spot because of his W/L record but Shanahan's SB wins trumped it.

McCarthy isn't horrible. But I think top 5 was always iffy.

He's not top 5. But man Philbin surprised me. I said hey go Phins hire the least charismatic guy I've ever seen. Who doesn't even run the "system" that GB does. He's going to go get Sherman to do it. Genius. Made me look stupid.

I like Schiano (Sp?) too. Not because of that late game stupid crap. Just like the way that team seems to handle themselves.

Fisher

Far be it for me to second guess your selections, but I am interested, how did you select Fisher? His W/L is 142-120 and teams he has coached have only won 4 division titles and 1 conference title in 17 years.

BTW, I recognize he has a vast resume of coaching experience and is among the longest tenured HCs in the game today, but his success, in my view, is questionable.

He was the guy that truly reinvented the oilers into the titans and they were dominating that division for a half dozen years. A few Turd years which everyone will have but back to playoffs again. A great 10 year span with limited super stars.

Now goes to St. Louis ANC brings then together and makes that team real from real crappy in a few months.

I expect if anyone on my list could be called into question, Mike McCarthy could be it. But, he has a fairly impressive W/L record of 68-36 over 7 (including this season) seasons with 2 division championships and a victory in the SB. That makes him, in my view, worthy of inclusion.

I give him a lot of credit for winning games but he's had great rosters. Give Ted Thompson credit there. I do like Mike because I feel like he is constantly improving. Guy has some guts too. And has hired a GREAT staff. I think he's hirings are my favorite part of the guy.

Certainly as a Pack fan I like him but he's an odd one where it looks like on paper he should be included but I'm not so convinced knowing past that. He's not the king motivator. Has been knowing to have his teams start slow, season and gamewise. Not great at in game adjustments. Tries to get too cute far too often. He has some flaws certainly. Play calling balance is always wretched.

What's so great about Tomlin?

What's so great about Tomlin?

I like him because he's never had a losing season. Super Bowl win, there twice. Had big shoes to fill and did. Great winning percentage

I like the way he leads. I'm just a touch confused about what he brings past that.

I expected him to fail and get fired, he proved me wrong big time. So I'm in his camp now is all
