I would go with Lombardi. Lombardi turned he Packers around mostly with the guys who were laready on the team and by picking up players that other teams didn't want. He set the the standard by which coaches in all sports are measured.
Noll was a great coach but he won four titles with the same group of guys that were put together through the draft. He deserves credit for that because he had to beat some great teams, but I think Lombardi did more in putting his team together through various means.
Landry was a great innovator and was so good for so long that he has to be mentioned as one of the greatest. The information you see on draft day in measuring players was started by the Cowboys back in the Landry-Schramm era.
Don Shula belongs on the list because, like Landry, his teams were among the best every year for an extended period of time. Had he ever been able to find a good running back during the Marino era he would have won more Super Bowls.

Lombardi and Noll are good answers but certainly George Halas, Don Shula and Tom Landry are in the mix.

Chuck Noll hardly ever gets the credit he deserves as a Head coach in the NFL.

Well if you say EVER man that is hard. I think that one dude who basically made the NFL was actually a coach as well as commissioner. If that is the case hey man he really is the best ever. The invovations he put in MADE football. In those days there were no hashmarks. If you ran the ball out of bounds, it was set right beside the stripe. So teams would waste a play to get it back toward the middle, where the hashmark now is. Hey you said EVER. No I wasn't around then, I just read about this stuff and if that man was a coach as well you know he deserves the credit.

If you can get a championship trophy named after you, then it has to be Vince Lombardi.

My vote goes to Vince Lombardi.
He was innovative and many coaches learned from his examples and strategies.
I remember one story.
After a lousy first half, nothing went right, and he spoke to the players at half time.
He held up a football. "Now, THIS is a football!"
I think it was Ray Nitshki, (spelling)?, held up his hand.
"Coach, slow down, you're going too fast!"
Another time, a player was out all night.
"I hope that piece of a** was worth $500.00."
A lot of money back then.
Great motivator.
