Who are yours?
I guess I’d have tiers..

BB

Payton, Reid. Arians
, Harbaugh & Tomlin
-
McVay & Shanahan
-
McDermott & Vrabel


Yes, I’m giving real weight to the Super Bowl wins.

I didn’t put Carroll because I think the Seahawks win was much more about personnel than coaching.

You have Kyle Shanahan and his career .452 record in the same tier as Sean McVay and his career .685 record? Also, you're selling Pete Carroll majorly short.

My top 10 would be:
1. Bill Belichick
2. Mike Tomlin
3. John Harbaugh
4. Sean McVay
5. Andy Reid
6. Asshole Face
7. Sean McDermott
8. Bruce Arians
9. Pete Carroll
10. Mike Vrabel
HM: Matt LaFleur

If it was a few years ago, Carroll would be higher.

I gotta factor in the injuries with Shanahan.
I think, at this point, it’s fair to drop Pete outside. And I’m not any kind of Carroll hater.

The guy who’s beaten McVay 5 straight? Yep.
Something stupid like a quarter of his entire career wins have come versus McVay. I can't remember the exact stat I saw. The Rams clearly fear him but nobody else does.

Bill Belichick
John Harbaugh
Sean McVay
Frank Reich
Mike Vrabel
Asshole Face
Mike Tomlin

If I were searching for a HC, those are my top ones right now.

Andy Reid, Carroll, McCarthy, Zimmer, Rivera, Arians… they don’t excite me much.

He knows how to beat McVay and not anyone else lol. Fisher was able to beat Carrol in the dark ages. I think some of the injuries have to fall on the coach. Something is going on with their strength and conditioning. Beating the Rams saved his job. He was on the brink of being on this year's firing list.

Only guy I would have to disagree w is Tomlin. The dude is hot garbage. He rode the coat tails of Bill Cowher† and the team has slowly deteriorated. I don't think he's a terrible coach but top 3 eeeeh?
Think about what he's done since becoming the coach. And take a look at their record every year. It's been gradually declining. Jmho of course

He's been to a Super Bowl and produced one, absolutely dominant team when he had a healthy roster.
He's been up and down, but I'm comfortable where I put him.

I'm not putting the injuries on him.

Great coaches have been fired. See the guy on the top of the list.

He's one that I went back and forth on. He stepped into one of the top three cultures in the NFL, an organization that knows what it wants to do and why.

He's probably the one on the list I feel like I could least defend.

He took over as Pittsburgh's HC in 2007. He has zero losing seasons. He's not hot garbage. He has a better career record than Cowher.

You are what your record says you are. And Mike Tomlin's record says he's an elite coach.

If we go by your logic so was Mike Martz 56-36. I'd consider him a great offensive mind, not a great HC. He took over an outstanding team and eventually got shitcanned because they saw the team go down the bowl.
