Oh yeah. I only selected Walsh as my head coach in the FP All-time draft.

Tom Landry, too.

Very Nice. I think another Good one has to be Chuck Noll. What a Legend. What an Employment Record!! His ability to Win in the 70's with the Steelers and get Four (4) Super Bowl titles and have that record untouched is Incredible to me. Being with the Steelers from '69-'91 is also very commendable.

Coach Noll gets little acknowledgement but is still one of Greats to Ever Coach.

So true. Think of the praise - most of it justified - that demonstrably lesser coaches get. I think Coach Noll never sucked up to reporters.

I don't know if you can put it all on the coaches though. Earl Morrall's three first-half interceptions is what did the Colts in that day. But I guess you can argue that Shula could have pulled him in favor of Unitas earlier than he did.

Steve Belichick (Hoodie's Dad), I don't care if he was not NFL. Papa Bear. Ditka. Cowher. Noll. Shula. Parcells. Lombardi. Lambeau. Stram. The Ryans. Bum.

Above all, despite some of the stories I have heard and read, I'll still take Papa Bear at number #1. Of course I'm biased.

Steve Belichik's indoor, offseason workouts, was the toughest thing I've ever done. Guys would throw up on the gym floor.

Tony Dungy and not only cause he is a former coach of the Bucs.Mr.Dungy was a guy who his off field exploits might exceed his on-field ones.He was a man first and a coach second. Was always there to showcase that no matter how big football is to you, there are always more important things out there. You might not always agree with his views but he knew he was a role model and not only lived up to it but surpassed it.

Agreed, Buckeye. If I were a betting person, I'd never bet against a Noll team in the playoffs. Hard to match that level of consistency.
