Wrong Again

Will the New York Jets ever get it right? That remains to be seen. For now I will let you chew on this. The only two defensive coordinators to win a Superbowl in their first head coaching job with new organizations are Tom Landry and Bill Cowher. Landry went to the Dallas Cowboys in 1960 after spending the previous six seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. Bill Cowher took over for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1992 after having spent the previous three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs as their D.C. Landry spent 29 seasons in Big D having won and lost two Superbowls. Cowher spent 15 seasons in the Steel City yielding one Superbowl victory and one loss. It took Landry 11 years to win a Superbowl and it took Cowher his entire coaching career to accomplish the same. Mike Tomlin could very well add his name to this very short and elite list. Making him the quickest to do so in that small class.
Many of you are going to point out that everyone is an assistant at some point and that they cant all win Superbowls. Surely names like Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick will surface as well. Of course I am sure you will not forget Lovie Smith and John Fox. How much longer are you willing to wait Jets fans?
Don Shula + David Shula = 2 Superbowls
Bum Phillips + Wade Phillips = 0 Superbowls
Jim Mora + Jim Mora Jr = PLAYOFFS!?!? 0 Superbowls
Dick Nolan + Mike Nolan = FIRED 0 no Superbowls
Buddy Ryan + Rex Ryan = ? Superbowls
Top Ten 10 NFL Head coaches of 2008
November 7, 2008 by MadisonMadnuff · 1 Comment
From now on Each week I will bring you my top 10 Whatever, it could my top ten sports teams or my top 10 sports drinks, who knows, This week I will give you the top 10 head coaches for 2008 in the NFL.
1. Jeff Fisher
Gets the top spot for what he is doing with the Titans right now he knows how to give his team the best chance to win. They are not the most talented team in the league by a long shot but with Jeff Fisher running the team defense first, run second, manage third the Titans are guaranteed a top seed in the AFC playoffs this year.
2. Bill Belichick
I hate this guy and he is clearly a cheater in my eyes but he is still a pretty good coach, no one in the league schemes a team like Belichick does and I mean no one.
3. Andy Reid
Andy Reid and his famous offense are what keep the Eagles winning year after year the Eagles never have any #1 wideouts but always mange to put up large offensive number, mostly in part because of the excellent offensive packages he has.
4. Mike Tomlin
Mike is the head coach of one of the NFL’s most historic teams and he is only 36 years old, he has taken a team that was .500 before he came to the playoffs in his first year, and it seems like this year the Steelers will be a top seed in the Playoffs. Mike’s willingness to bend just enough for the sake of his coordinators helps him keep his team winning
5. Eric Mangini
Mangenius is just that; a genius when it comes to coaching if he could beat his mentor more often he might be higher on the list. There is not a coach in the league that is able to win as much as Mangini with as little talent. The Jets are one of the most unimpressive teams when it comes to talent but Mangini has the schemes to turn losers into winners….kind of.
6. Tom Coughlin
From tough as nails to the players coach Coughlin has turned the Giants into a true football team. He has managed to get rid of egos, and distractions to get his team focused on one goal another Superbowl. Many coaches find it hard to keep a team focused after they have won it all but Coughlin knows how to manage players and keep them focused better than any coach in the league.
7. Jeff Fox
Jeff had caught a few tough breaks in his tenure in Carolina but this year he is showing people what he can do when all the guys he needs to run his system are healthy, he needs a big win this year in the playoffs or he may not make the next list because he will no longer be a head coach.
8. John Gruden
Chucky, the guy is a maniac but he knows how to win with anybody at the helm. John Gruden is one of the best at putting his individuals players in the best position to win, it doesn’t matter whether or not it is a quarter back, running back, or wideout John will make you succeed if you are starting for him.
9. Tony Dungy
The man invented the Tampa cover 2, it is still one of the most effective defenses this year. With his team reeling he seems poised to earn this spot in the top ten by squeaking off enough games to get a hurt and battered team to the playoffs.
10. Ken Whisenhunt
The guy is winning in Arizona hell Obama couldn’t even do that. Whisenhunt is an offensive genius and again anytime you can come out on top as the head coach of the Cardinals you have to be pretty good.
