This is my list - curious to see everyone's

Tier 1
Belichick

Tier 2
McVay
Payton
Pederson
Tomlin
Carroll
Reid

Tier 3
Reich (could be in Tier 2)
Nagy
Shannahan
Zimmer
Harbaugh

Tier 4
Arians
Vrabel
Rivera
Lynn

Tier 5
Marrone
Gase
Gruden
Gruden
O'Brien

I left off the new HC's. Not sure how to evaluate them...

I'll have to think about it, but I really like Lynn for the Chargers...probably their best coach in awhile. Andy Reid is probably underrated, though I see he is ranked high. I'd probably put Harbaugh in tier 2...the way they are listed above.

I like Lynn also - if the Chargers had a good home field advantage I think they would win more games. Bumping him into tier 3 makes sense but I can't see tier 2. JMO

Bill O'Brien should be tier six.

All I know is Jason Garrett belongs at #32.

Stubborn to the point of fault coaches can be found in those lists and should be dropped to the bottom. These kinds of coaches will undoubtedly lose 2-3 games a season all on their own each season. Tomlin can fall into that. Young Gruden for sure. Zimmer. Who else has that stubborn to a loss ability to be named?

OP overrates Nagy, that guy is one of the worst offensive coaches ive ever seen. I get his QB is somewhat limited, but its just awful gameplan.

Gruden is underrated. Shanahan deserves to be in tier 2 with what hes doing with this team.

Carroll should be tier 4, he cost his team so many games and a championship or two. Not buying the genius thing with mcvay either, he is good but not among the best.

Arians should be higher, he overachieved everywhere he went.

Carroll & Kyle Shanahan have both cost their teams SB's. **** happens.

Nah, if 28 points is not enough to win the super bowl problem is with the defense and head coach, offense did its job.

Carroll on the other hand made the worst decison in pro sports history.

Carroll is on the lowest tier with Garrett.

How many Superbowl's has Garrett coached in? Dude goes 8-8 or 9-7 every year with a very good roster for the most part.

Pete isn't Belichick when it comes to game management. But good or bad, his teams are always in playoff contention. Even with a lack of talent.

They run the ball and clock & the game's over. Say what you want, but he blew it.
