Thread: Does Lovie rank among league Top 10 coaches?

IDK if I can say Lovie is a top ten HC if he cant lead a balanced team.

and of those ranked above smith, reid, peyton, ryan and couglin also haven't had blanced teams either and do not find tomlin all that balanced either

I wasnt judging those guys just Lovie lol

but when he is put into a top 10 list and judged andthose guys ahead of him, shouldn't we use the same criteria for ALL? and if the other coaches have the same deficits, it wouldn't make him fall in rankings..

for sure if you would like me to critique each coach I would. But to me Im interested in Lovie cause that is the one that affects my team. And to me allot of what you see in coaches success is the GM to Coach relationship. There has to be sound judgement in acquiring talent and assistant coaches by both especially when you have someone involved in that process like Lovie is. So far to me at least I have not enjoyed a Bears offense over an entire season since Lovie has been a HC. That is pretty pathetic that we can not in his amount of time coaching get a decent offense going Im sorry but that isnt top ten material in my book

Ok that's your opinion and not going to change it, Guess disagree and because all the others have same or different 'warts", to me he is still in the top 10.. different strokes for different folks- just saying if not just talking a specific coach but a "ranking of all 32 coaches", you do have to look at all 32 not just the one for your team

after parcells won the SB in 1986 with giants- went 6-9,10-6(missed playoffs both years)

sean peyton after losing to bears in the NFC championship went 7-9 and 8-8

But regardless of that I'm not judging Lovie in comparison to anyone else. I'm judging him on his own merits alone and to me his record of success is only slightly above average and to me that doesn't get him into the top 5.

how can you "rank" anything without comparing the people in the ranking to each other? isn't that what a " ranking" all about? A comparsion to everyone else in the subset ranking?

Other then Rex Ryan do you feel he has got an ill rating? If any thing he is better then Ryan but worse then Shanahan(unless we are ignoring past accomplishments)
