Who Is the Greatest NFL coach ever?

Answer 1

Bill Bellicheck. I would like to see lombardi coach in this day and age though. Personally i think it is much harder now..that is the reasoning behind my pick

Answer 2

all the coaches named in the previous answers ,are great but not the greatest, the greatest what determines the greatest? superbowl wins? overall or all time wins? these are taken into consideration, but what about the coaches before there were superbowls, nobody remembers them, back in the old days pre superbowl they had championship games, and who was the coach that coached in the most or won the most? here i'll give u all a few clues then u can argue all u want.... this man pioneered the forward pass(what would the league be like now without the pass? would T.O., Randy Moss, Jerry Rice and all the great wr's
be anything if it wasn't for the pass? this man also introduced the playbook, making sure the players knew it from cover to cover, also introduced messenger guards,pulling guards, the screen pass, face mask, play action,and a whole slew of others that made the nfl what it is today..... he is also the only coach to have a team named after him..... this man is none other then the great
Paul Brown.....look it all up, check it all out, it's all true just like the gospel.....

Answer 3

Don Shula.

In 1995, he concluded his 33rd (and final) season as the winningest NFL head coach ever with a career mark of 347-173-6 (.665). Shula holds the NFL record for having coached in six Super Bowls... In Super Bowl VII, the 1972 Dolphins completed their historic 17-0-0 campaign – the only perfect season in NFL history – with a 14-7 win over the Washington Redskins. In 1973, Miami defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII to culminate a two-season span when the Dolphins won 32 of 34 games.

Who has done better than that in their career?

John Madden? Madden coached the Raiders for 10 seasons, posting a regular season record of 103 wins, 32 losses and 7 ties.

Vince Lombardi? His career totals are 96 wins, 34 losses and 6 ties.

Bill Walsh? In his 10 seasons as head coach of the 49ers, Walsh compiled a 102-63-1 mark that included 10 wins in 14 postseason games.

These are all good numbers but...33 seasons, 347 wins and the only perfect season make Shula the best of all time.

Answer 4

Everyone is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Coaches mentioned, Lombardi, Knoll, Walsh, even Jimmy Johnson are all great.
I don’t doubt that. But they rode the same QB and/or RB for their Super Bowls.

I give you a coach who won 3 Super Bowls.
Not 1…Not 2…BUT 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QB’s and 3 different RB’s.

Where is Knoll without Bradshaw and Harris/Bleier?
Where is Lombardi without Starr and where is Walsh without Montana?
Where is Jimmy Johnson without Aikman and Emmitt?

My guy has won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QB’s and 3 different RB’s.
He is truly the BEST NFL COACH ever.

Answer 5

The year before Lombardi took over the Packers were 1-10-1, the Packers had not had a winning season in 12 years. When Lombardi took over the Packers did not go below .500 for all of his tenure and won five championships.

He took a 17th round selection in Bart Starr and made him into a Hall of Fame QB.

Answer 6

Vince Lombardi

Answer 7

Only the most famous coach in the history of the NFL...you know the one whose name is on the championship trophy every year. Vince Lombardi you dumb shmuck.

Answer 8

Answer 9

John Madden

Answer 10

Vince Lombardi was the best followed by Tom Landry.

Answer 11

Lombardi until Bill Belichick carves his own name on the trophy as a tribute when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame.
