POLL} Top Head Coach All Time ?......

[BallsOfFurry]

It is very close for me between Lombardi, Halas, Brown and Walsh. All have a lot to argue for.
I went to Brown because he won at every level and he professionalized the game more than anybody else.

Halas, Brown, Landry and Walsh all were instrumental in developing The game.
Halas, founded The NFL and developed the forward pass.
Brown The first to hire position coaches among other refinements.
Landry started situational substitutions, the 3-4 defense and signaling from the sideline.
Walsh developed the west coach offense that all modern offenses mimic to some extent.

Hoody is the easy pick I think for GOAT. Impossible however to be as impactful as Brown was; man deserves a shoutout here.

I picked Bill Walsh for the obvious reason as you mentioned but also because the team he built around the GOAT Joe Montana was unparalleled as far as I'm concerned and continued on even after his retirement with who I believe was a product of the great system Bill developed, Steve Young....
But I think you have to consider Don Shula the best on the all time list because he holds the record that no one has been able to match in over 40 years....Undefeated to the finish !!!!

It's obviously Belichick. Look at what a noodle armed statue has done in his system. Imagine if he had a true top talent playing QB for him.

Clearly many weigh the most recent great achievement above those more distant ones.
If Noll had just won his 4th out of 4 tries I'm betting he would get most votes.
I have no doubt if Lombardi had just won his 6th title in 11 years he'd get the most votes.

I disagree, at least with Hoody being #1.

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

I choose Bellicheck. He's closing in on 2 decades of dominance. Plus he has fun along the way like drop kick extra points etc.

The 1989 Niners might have been the best team ever.

The mustard variety.. or get the fudge out of here.

Paul Brown for me

 

[Carnzo]

Who to vote for?
Naturally the leader of the dark side!
In Bill we trust.

And he aint done yet, not with the team he is fielding next season.

BB

Carried a 3 yard slant QB to 5 titles

Well, I use dry mustard in mine as I do not like the discoloration the standard mustard provides.

 

[Godstree]

Championships are the standard so it has to be BB.

But there are coaches that have meant way more to the game itself even ones that never won a title.

 

[mrschaney]

This one is a no-brainer!

 

[BallsOfFurry]

Paul Brown for me

He got my vote as well.
The man invented the structure of NFL coaching staffs and he won big every year.

Lombardi won 6, Brown won 7 counting The Browns' AAFL days.

Yep.
