The thing about Coughlin isn't just that he has two Superbowls - it's that he's the only coach other than Bill Belichick to even have multiple championship wins in the last twenty years.

How many even have multiple conference championship wins this century? Belichick and Coughlin, Carroll and McVay, Reid, Tomlin?

Edit: forgot John Fox because they were a decade apart

Allbright has been on a bit over the past week or two about Sean Payton looking for a LA based gig and not necessary with the Chargers especially if they make the playoffs.

McVay chasing studio money would be an interesting wrinkle to the off-season.

So did Dom Capers for that matter.

the beginning and end of Coughlin's HoF case, like Eli's, is that he beat Belichick/Brady twice. that's all you need. his time with the Jags doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if Eli was actually good (he wasn't), and it shouldn't. it's the hall of fame not the hall of inarguably surpasses some statistical threshold. for example, Gale Sayers

I really doubt McVay is calling it quits right now, he signed a big contract extension that takes him to 2026 that made him the highest/second highest paid coach in the league. Floating the Amazon stuff in the media was his agents way of getting that money. I think he puts in at least 2 more years and then all bets are off after that.

Breer on the Wilks job.

quote:

From Greg (@panther1gb89): Does Wilks keep the HC job in Carolina? If not, who does Tepper go after?

Greg, the only thing I’ve consistently heard on the Panthers’ pending coaching search is that he’s leaning toward hiring a young, offensive-minded assistant for the position—taking the Rams-in-2017 approach of trying to find the next Sean Payton, rather than hiring the actual Payton (back then, for the Rams, the “Sean Payton” would’ve been Jon Gruden). And so you might consider Detroit’s Ben Johnson, Philly’s Shane Steichen or Buffalo’s Ken Dorsey.

But, to be clear, that doesn’t disqualify Steve Wilks, who’s done a really good job and has earned a real look. Even before Matt Rhule’s firing, people on the coaching staff and in personnel were raving about Wilks and hoping he’d eventually get a second shot at being a head coach after going one-and-done in Arizona (the problem there was largely how he filled out his staff and some misses he had in that regard). So there’s support for him internally, without question.

That said, I do think that Tepper’s going to want to find his own guy here.

If I were an owner I would try really hard to hire the next Bill Belichick, but failing that I would still be real happy with the next Mike Tomlin. Even getting the next John Harbaugh would be a real solid result. Heck, getting the next Pete Carroll wouldn't be the end of the world.

Too bad the next Bill Belichick is already locked up running the Pats' defense! Biding his time until he can take over from dear old dad.

It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."
you think all those pats coaches ever realize that bill being a miserable rear end in a top hat is not the reason he's successful and in fact is a bad thing where if he didn't have the weight of his record behind him it might cause him a lot of trouble? like im not sure rear end in a top hat bill in his current form could suddenly start coaching in the modern era and get a long enough leash to build up a good record.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
And also him being an rear end in a top hat is more of a public persona to spite the media. I mean, he's still an rear end in a top hat, but to the players he's more of a lovable rear end in a top hat that tries to bring the best from them, as opposed to the idiot assholes in Belicheck's tree who don't understand the level of nuance it takes to be a successful rear end in a top hat rather than a regular garbage rear end in a top hat.

Eh too much smoke from former Pats players that he's an rear end in a top hat that rubs folks the wrong way. But he's also the winningest coach ever so.. he can do what he wants. Brady succeeding multitudes better than Bill has since the split really helps the argument that his level of bullshit wouldn't cut it tho

Brady succeeding with a much fresher team and a really good coach did a lot to play to him doing so well and his recent woes have shown there is a definite limit for him as well.

It's a man's game, but boys will play

At the risk of wading into a big debate that I have literally no stake or rooting interest in, it seems to me that Brady leaving for the Bucs and succeeding while the Pats have languished without him doesn't really say much about Belichick himself, just that it's virtually impossible for a team to excel without a decent quarterback.

As I see it, a good coach raises a bad roster's ceiling somewhat, while a good quarterback significantly raises a bad roster's floor. That is, maybe this year's Bucs are about as bad as a team with Tom Brady could be, and maybe the Pats are currently about as good as a team without a real quarterback could be. I mean, compare the Pats to the Broncos to see what a difference coaching can make. Would anyone say the Pats have a better roster, really?

This year was a whiff by Belichick and even then he's completely rebuilt the defense into something pretty drat good when virtually everyone was saying they had probably the worst secondary in the league in the offseason.

2020 the team got smoked by Covid, it was an old roster and aside from Brady, like a half dozen starters decided to sit out the year due to the plague. And even then he took a broken Cam Newton and finished 7-9. Then last year he took a rookie QB who y'all think is trash and had him playing like an average starter and took a really, really flawed roster to the playoffs.

bill would probably succeed just fine starting his career now at this level of rear end in a top hat as long as he had a good gm and a reasonably good team. as with late career brady, the thing everybody seems to forget about belichick is: he's a very good football coach, especially on defense. he is good at figuring out schematic advantages; he is good at figuring out how to best take advantage of his players' talents; he is good at coaching up those players to play to those talents. this is not perfect because, you know, the other side gets paid too, and also because his skill at being a gm has really taken a nosedive. part of the reason those other guys don't succeed while being an rear end in a top hat is because they haven't won enough to put up with it, but also because they are not winning enough to put up with it, because they are not as good at coaching nfl football as bill belichick, because he is very good at it
