Has Andy Reid made the top 10 of all-time NFL head coaches?

[Hbomb]

Yes, over Gibbs

Bite your tongue.

 

[Red_Chaos]

Don't overlook;

1) His defensive scheme in the HOF
2) His defense holding the Rams to 3

It's not all Brady.

hey if you're going to point out the ram's game PLZ mention the defense holding ATL to 0 points so the offense could make a comeback

 

[PDay8810]

To put Belichick in perspective, Pete Carroll was just hired.

short line starts behind you.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Bite your tongue.

Not enough tenure.

12 years and 3 that were throwaway.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

man that is a rough question.
He is a top notch coach no doubt.
but I would have a hard time saying one of those other guys arent top ten.

 

[ericd7633]

Yes, he's pretty easily top 10 at this point. He's probably closer to 5 than 11 if we're being honest. At this point he's definitely ahead of Gibbs, Landry and Walsh (based on longevity alone). It's tough to compare him to guys who coached in the 20's, 30's and 40's.

Adjustments.

Of which Reid had none.

Walsh devised an offense that changed the league. No.

Gibbs won three Super Bowls with three different QB's. No.

Landry...maybe.

 

[Clayton]

Top 10 is such a meaningless distinction

He is one of the best coaches

I can agree with that.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Because Bill didn't want the Job.

UNC HC Bill Belichick has heard from multiple teams, including Raiders minority owner Tom Brady, to gauge interest in return to NFL

I believe I heard him say he wanted the bears job this year, but took the unc job anticipating the bears would go with an offensive HC.

 

[Clayton]

I think one of the issues with the great coaches in this era is that they overachieve and thus dont have accolades. It seems like Coach of the Year is often given to someone taking a mid team to the playoffs and then that team gets wiped out in the playoffs. Vikings this year. Browns the year before. 2 of Reid's worst performing Chiefs SB teams should've been knocked out earlier if you believe point differential is an indicator for team strength.

The league was designed to keep Belichick and Brady from doing what they did. The league let the Patriots (and other teams) smother receivers and they did and took advantage. When the league stopped that, they became a better offensive team and still won a lot. Belichick approached football like baseball and he made the sport smarter. The sport evolves and eventually the great coach is just a coach.

Reid's coaching tree is still an extension of Walsh's coaching tree to a degree. I feel like talking one of them down to promote the other is silly. Reid also running into the same team building issues as Belichick in a parity league. Ultimately its a bit weird to talk any of these coaches down

 

[Iggloo]

Yeah I think he’s inched into the top 10.

 

[Janus]

I would take Paul Brown out fist ,I think he's the weakest.
Reversing the top ten with weakest to strongest after Brown, Gibbs, Shula, Noll, Belicheck, Halas Landry, Walsh, Lambeau, Lombardi

 

[Southieinnc]

Yes I think Andy Reid is top 10 - 3 Super Bowl wins, 6 Super Bowl appearances, and a lot of success in both KC and Philly.

Yes! Let him dump Don Shula!

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Yes! Let him dump Don Shula!

Shula had Marino and got to the Super Bowl once.

I am not a huge Marino fan, I think he is a class 1 Douche Bag. But he was one of the best QB's ever and Shula failed to get him back to the big game.

All time wins is a great stat to own, but it pales in comparison to the stats of other HC's on that list.

I know, he won early in his career.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

In the SB era, absolutely, imo. Maybe even top 5 or close to it. The all-time thing is always kind of hard to do because guys like Halas, Lambeau, Brown, etc. just simply were working in a totally different sport to what we have today. I don't think we take this one recent game and make it the end all, be all. After all, Belichick in 07 got beat by a similar gameplan by a far inferior team than these Eagles and it doesn't diminish the fact that Belichick has 8 total rings as a defensive genius. Not going to say his failure at the end wasn't pretty drastic but not going to take his legacy away either. Back to Reid, I honestly have more regard for him than I do for Schula, despite Schula being the all-time wins leader. Early on, Schula had Unitas and then had a loaded roster for the back to back Dolphins in the early 70s, then basically shit until he got Marino and racked up a bunch of wins to set the record. Even with Marino, Schula couldn't build a decent roster around him and often failed badly vs. other good coaches of the era.

It's not all Brady.

Reid's record without Mahomes is a LOT better than Belichick's without Brady.

But yeah, the Chiefs surprisingly didn't look like a team that was prepared to play a Super Bowl, and that's on Reid.

 

[PDay8810]

Top 10 is such a meaningless distinction

He is one of the best coaches

Amen

Say it again
