Gert T 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 In the span of 1979-2004 Don Shula won 2 less Super Bowls than Joe Gibbs. Great list ESPN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Like I said. Shula would've never had a team win more than 5 games if Marino hadn't been playing for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Jimmy Johnson also won two more Super Bowls than Shula in that time span. Johnson also won big at Miami. (I'm pretty sure he won at least one national championship) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 Dean Smith is overrated. A great recruiter. But, with the talent UNC should have more than 2 titles. Why is Smith is #1. and Bobby Bowden #21? Both have 2 championships. Both, had numerous Top 5 and Final Four and National Championship appearances. Both men were great recruiters, who often came up short in the big game. Bill Walsh is easily imo the best coach/manager of the last 25 years. The influence Walsh had on the NFL is still felt today. Plus, look at all the head coaches somehow connected to Walsh.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 I'd say most college coaches are overrated in general, considering most of the coaches that considered great, had teams stacked with NFL prospects in key positions and were going against just yer average guy during the course of a season.

Dogbert 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 Is Glen Sather anywhere on the list? I know he's not much these days but he did coach and mangae the Edmonton Oiler dynasty in the 80's. If Bowman is #2, Sather should at least be in the top 25. Slats shouldn't have been on, and I'm glad he wasn't. With the team he had playing in front of him, it didn't take much to win. Hell, I could have gone behind the bench and won Cups if I had Gretzky in his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 In the span of 1979-2004 Don Shula won 2 less Super Bowls than Joe Gibbs. Great list ESPN. 3 (Gibbs 3 - Shula 0) Damn that 35 point quarter, I kept thinking about Super Bowl XVIII against the Raiders, and not how they beat the shit out of the Broncos! Oh well, at least it strengthens my argument of Joe Gibbs > Don Shula. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 I despise the "he wasn't a great coach, look at the player/players he had" argument. Especially in recent football, the coach is the field general now, moreso than any particular player. I like the list, but Bobby Cox's omission is somewhat unfortunate. Considering Joe Torre has won 4 (5?) World Series since 1996 and he was only #13, I shouldn't be surprised. And, as with the rest of these list shows, I love the number announcements.
