Quote:Just to be clear, I'm talking about all the head coaches who are new to their respective teams. Andy Reid counts here.

 

Which head coach made the most progress with his team, in your opinion?

 

Gus Bradley is going to be a great HC IMO, but I think his major strides as a HC will take place next year. 

 

Andy Reid has shown that he's still Andy Reid. Glad we didn't sign him. He's like Marty Schottenheimer. Always winning in the regular season, always folding in the play-offs.

 

I think it's between Chip Kelly, Bruce Arians, and Mike McCoy. Mike McCoy is the only one still alive in post-season play, but he took the reigns of a pretty talented Chargers team. Kelly has his best years ahead of him. Don't know much about the Cardinals, but they're on the rise too I think.

 

I think McCoy's done the best job, especially as of late.

If you are going to count Andy Reid than he would be my choice.  To take the KC Cheifs from 32nd ranked with only 2 wins to 11 wins (and almost a 12win against the playoff chargers in Overtime when he had only his backups in for the entire game) should leave no one with doubt that he should get the coach of the year award for this season regardless of the huge lead the team blew.

I mean he did lose J. Charles at the start of that game, along with his probowl cb, and then later in the game flowers, and many other key players to injuries (I am not saying the Colts were playing dirty), but as a HC he cant control injuries he can only coach up his backups in case that occurs which he obviously did if you saw the Charges game the previous week.  He shouldve played more conservative with the lead, but he had many critics in Philly for doing just that and knowing how great of a QB Luck is he felt he should remain aggressive.


Chip Kelly also did great in Philadelphia for his first year as a college coach, but he also lost his post season game.
